Self-Publishing Steps You Might Not Know About

First, you say it's really complicated, then you say it's really easy. So, which is ir?

I subscribed just because you made me laugh 😅

I keep seeing the company Reedsy offering free resources, but the reviews seems a bit sketchy. Was wondering if anyone has any experience working with them?

This was great. Thank you

I didn't know about that Library of Congress part. Very cool to learn about another piece of the puzzle

Is that Felix on your shirt? Is Jenna a Stay?

At this point this feels like doing classes, as in I need to take notes. Very nice content.

Fantastic video, Jenna! I want to self-publish my Czech-English Phrasal Dictionary in the future. It's a lot of work. I would like to sell it all over the country and offer it to all students and public. It will be the first edition. The great thing about this project is that I can extend it for the rest of my life because there's so much information.

Hi, Jenna. This might be a stupid question, but how do you work out how many pages you book has? I write in Word (always), and I know how many pages are in Word, but is it the same amount? Input from anyone is very welcome. Thanks in advance.

I'm debuting at the end of the year and WOW I had a couple of misunderstandings. Thank you so much for this video!!

When is Savior’s Army coming out? I’ve been waiting ❤❤❤

INCREDIBLY helpful and informative. This is information I haven't seen elsewhere on Authortube. Thank you so much.

Wow one ISBN is 125, but 10 are 295. They're not really giving you a choice on which one to buy lol ❤❤

In the U.S. now, you cannot sue for any copyright infringement unless you registered your book with the U.S. Copyright Office. You might have an automatic copyright when you write your book, but you can't do anything about it unless it's registered.

Funny how she brings gate keepers from agencies on here to tell us why they won’t read past two sentences of our novels and then she turns around and self published. Seems suss.

Is there a type of paper you recommend for chapter books? Is there a type of paper that DOESN'T yellow over time? A lot of my chapter books from middle school have turned yellow (I've had them for about 14 years) and have gotten fragile, so I wasn't sure if there was a type of paper for chapter books that didn't do that.

Jenna, been watching your videos for years and I'm always really appreciative of all your research and the information you provide. Because of this, I humbly wish to tap into your wealth of knowledge and would love to see a video on marketing of novels. How ad's work, email lists, author websites, and other nitty-gritty business-y... stuff. Please. Very much, please.

Thank you for being consistent! I self-published my first novel in March of 2023. And your videos certainly helped.

Timely! I sent off my book to an editor and I'm setting up to do all the other stuff 😀

I'll definitely need to come back and rewatch this when I'm closer to getting my book published

Thank you.

in my state they charge an insane amount of money for an llc because…california

I am nowhere near ready to publish, but this is something I think about often because it's my first book, and I don't want to fuck it up. It's nice to know this video exists when I'm ready to move onto that step. My neurodivergent brain can stop freaking out now.

A warning on official copyrights and ISBNs. Make sure your novel/novella is edited and ready to go before you get them. Major changes invalidate them, and you will have to get new ones.

Love you Jenna! ❤

This is very helpful Jenna I appreciate you so much ❤

So glad I have no desire to publish anything I write. LOL

Once again Jenna coming in with the 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for covering this Jenna, just what I was looking for!! Very helpful

Great video.

This was very helpful! Thank you! ❤

You have no idea how useful this was

I'm very close to self-publishing my first novel and I'm REALLY needed this. Thank you so much!❤

OMG just what I needed!!!

First!
