To Self-Publish or Traditionally Publish? How to Answer this Essential Question …

Has your book stalled before it even started?

You know you want to write a book. You’ve got a topic in mind, and you’re looking forward to the day you can call yourself a published author.

But before you can move forward, you have to make what seems like an impossible decision: should you work with a publisher, or should you self publish?

In this episode Jeff Goins and Pamela Wilson discuss:

  • Why Jeff and Pamela are talking about this topic and what you can expect from Zero to Book
  • How to think about your goals for your book and plan for the long game
  • Why the way you publish your first book isn’t as important as you may think
  • What matters instead: an approach to book publishing that works (with examples)

    Hi.

    Well I loved your comments on learning content for a book through blogging. That is exactly what is happening with me so far. I’ve been writing my memoirs for years & I keep going with it but when I decided to blog until I could decide on how & when to try & publish it, I learned how much more I wanted to write.

    I really liked hearing the pros & cons of each. I do think self-publishing would work for me for this one book but have another about daily blessings on the go, that I would like to submit & see if I could get a contract. Thank you… lots of good advice here.

    Sincerely,
    Lane

    Hey Pamela and Jeff. You two make a solid team and I loved this first podcast.

    I’m really looking forward to future episodes, too. I’ll self-publish my debut novel this year and I plan to self-publish a non-fiction book next year. I know this podcast will help me all around.

    You two are rock stars in my book and I feel like your different styles complement and balance each other.

    I’m really excited and thankful for you two taking the time to create content like this!

    GREAT episode.
    I love Jeff and love his generous and practical wisdom.
    As someone who just published a book with a “big” Publisher, I learned SO many lessons along the way and am drawn to the “Both/And” idea of Traditional Publishing and Self-Publishing.

    I’m excited to journey along with you in YOUR process and learn ideas and strategies for what’s next for my writing career!

    Thanks so much.
