From passion to publication: the OBH self-publishing guide
Self-publishing involves many roles aside from the writing: designing, editing, distributing and marketing. These can seem overwhelming when you first start out. OBH has developed a free guide that aims to simplify the publishing journey and help you create your very own book. The guide demystifies the process and answers the frequently asked questions around providing files, including images, editing, budget, marketing, cover design and book layout, ISBNs and barcodes, book size, paper and binding types and more.
