Think publishing is just writing a book and hitting “upload”? Think again. In this raw and real episode of Pros Talking Prose, Stacey and Troy break down the true financial equation of getting your book into the world, whether you’re self-publishing, hybrid publishing, or chasing that traditional dream.
This is a long one, and I am sort of sorry about that but there was a lot to cover.
We get into:
What trad publishing really covers (hint: not much)
Why hybrid publishers double dip and what it costs you
How self-publishing can eat your budget if you’re not careful
And the biggest expense authors never plan for (spoiler: it’s not your cover)
We’re not here to scare you—we’re here to keep you from signing away your rights and your savings. Buckle up, grab the free Publishing Budget Worksheet, and let’s do the math together.
