[Stylist] Stylist Digest, Vol 208, Issue 3

[Peggy Chong]

Are use smashwords.  Their platform is fairly accessible. They have tutorials on how to use the smash words platform. They provide several different formats including through Barnes and Noble. They are free. They provide you with services or leads to services if you pay for them. They don’t provide any editing unless you pay for it through a contractor. They do provide you with an earnings statement once you have received your first paycheck. My experience with self publishing and my experience through my book club members. Is that if your self publishing you’re doing all the work.

Hello all,
I hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend. I have a question for
those of you who have self-publish; what platform did you use and did you
work with them to do any editing before the book was publish? Did they help
you with marketing? Finally, is the book only on their platform or other
platform as well? I am looking to publish a novel soon. Thanks for helping
me out.
Osman

Hi-

I use DLD books for my independent publishing needs. My books are available  on all ebook platforms and in print softcover on Amazon and Barnes & Noble and on Smashwords . DLD is a book prep service and doesn?t  offer marketing services but will assist with designing things like flyers, postcards,etc for a very reasonable fee. They also now offer hardcover on Ingram Spark, which I plan to use for my fifth book.



Best,

Annie C.
