]]> Comment on Quality and Control in Self-Publishing by Fiona Ingram http://selfpublishingadvice.wordpress.com/2008/11/14/quality-and-control-in-self-publishing/#comment-302 Fiona Ingram Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:48:00 +0000 http://selfpublishingadvice.wordpress.com/?p=350#comment-302 The biggest challenge to a self published author is to produce a book that meets the industry standard: ISBN, good cover, back cover copy, spine, proper typesetting, professional editing, bar code ... all the things one takes for granted when buying a book. Many times self-published authors do it on a shoe-string, and because they are generally ignorant of the editing and production process, they go with small, often fly-by-night companies who take the money and produce something really shoddy. Step One - get a budget together. Only then think about finishing and prepping your manuscript. One's talent will not shine through on badly laid out pages, nor will the reader be so overwhelmed by your talent that he or she can ignore awful spellos and bad grammar.
