The following is a partial list of self pubishing resources — books and web sites – that will be valuable to you on your self publishing journey. They were a valuable source of information for me.

By no means is this list exhaustive, but it will be a good, comprehensive beginning to help you get off to a good start in your writing and publishing adventure.

Books

Poynter, Dan, Dan Poynter’s Self-Publishing Manual

Poynter, Dan, Writing Non-Fiction

and a myriad of other books too numerous to list on how to write fiction, non-fiction, memoirs,       children’s books, science fiction, etc., and how to self publish and market your pBooks and eBooks.

Just search www.amazon.com books or go to your local bookstore (while you still have one) for the necessary guides that fit your writing and publishing goals and plans.
