Author Slave: How to Protect Your Book Income (Authors & Writers: Publishing Guides, #1)

Dear Author: You slaved for months or perhaps years to bring your beloved book "baby" to life. You invested incalculable time, energy and funds promoting your book through your website, blogging, social media posts and ads. You suffered sleepless nights over the book title, cover image and fonts. You've anticipated nearly every challenge imaginable-except for the burning questions raised and answered in this book, including:

1. Who controls the buy buttons and the buy box for your book?

2. Who controls your ISBN number if you want to republish or self-publish your work on other platforms?

3. What if your publisher of record stops distributing your work?

4. How do you compete with third party sellers of your hardback/paperback editions?

5. Should you purchase and resell your remaindered copies?

6. How can you ensure that future editions of your book inherit your customer reviews-especially those precious 5-star reviews?

7. What are your best income producing options for self-publishing your work?
