The Costs of Self-Publishing – and how to reduce them

The was a recent article on Reedsy, where they analysed data from hundreds of freelancer quotes and arrived at the costs of self-publishing a novel to professional standards. i.e. When you you don’t just upload a just-finished-typing Word file to Amazon, but actually produce a book properly. Instead of having the backing of a publisher that does all this, you handle all aspects yourself.

The article is fascinating, but for a quick review here’s their inforgraphic which summarises the article neatly. Scan through it, as I’ve got some interesting observations to share about how to go pro without going broke.
