- Step-by-step Approach: Instead of forcing you to learn all the terms ahead of time, the workbook walks you through the process step by step.
- Planning: Both digital and print books share many features, but there are important differences you’ll need to plan before pushing the publish button.
- Avoid Scams: Don’t let fear or ignorance cause you to make a decision you might regret.
- Some writers choose to publish through a vanity press because they’re afraid of the unknown aspects of self-publishing.
- Instead of learning how to self-publish, they let the vanity press take over the entire process with false promises of no-stress publication and distribution for a high fee.
- Some experience inordinate delays, and many times the vanity press recommends a solution that requires more money to get back on track.
- Because vanity presses frequently recommend or require unnecessary services, there’s less chance writers will ever see a meaningful return on their investments in time and money.
- Even if the book gets published, most writers experience less profitability with a vanity press.
Self-publishing Is Easier than Writing a Book
Fear can creep in when you face an unfamiliar task, especially a multi-step process.
It’s not just fear of the technology side of self-publishing, but also the terms used to describe digital and print books. However, once learned, you’ll find the terms logical and easy to apply to your writing project. Best of all, once you self-publish your novel, your increased confidence will encourage you to move forward with your next book.
It’s an awe-inspiring feeling to hold your print book in hand and see your novel on sale at retailers.

Author’s Bio
Grant P. Ferguson developed his reading superpower as an under-tall kid in grade school. After balancing on tiptoes to pluck a science fiction novel from the library’s top shelf, it was love at first reading. Like a nerd turned super hero, books transformed his ordinary life into an extraordinary genre mashup of thriller, romance, and faith. He studied writing, and like a mad (but not evil) scientist, turned his research into the Trellis Method. From their ‘Fortress of Solitude’ in Central Texas, Grant and wife share their love of writing.
