The Self-Publisher's FAQ answers many questions ranging the entire experience of publishing. It covers:

- Producing a book or ebook: Do I need an editor? Can I typeset the book myself? How do I get a cover designer? Do I need to print or go directly into ebooks?
- The requisite forms and website registrations: What is Books in Print? What is Metadata? What is the difference between copyright and copyright registration?
- Marketing (without which, your book won't sell!): How do I define my audience? What is a marketing plan? What is an author platform? Do I need a publicist?
- The Self-Publisher's FAQ Countdown: When am I supposed to buy an ISBN, write my marketing plan and send books out for review?
In clear, no-nonsense replies, you'll find the answer to these and many, many other questions!
