Great video thank you

It’s completely not in my budget, for sure, I’m going to hang tight in the querying trenches!

You have a real talent for breaking down and delivering complex information...well done, you!!!!

Thank you for the break-down, but what about printing costs?

Been bedin my mind over this! Thank you so much!

Sometimes a lot less than most anticipate ---except of course one plans to go all out in a marketing campaign...

I do my books for under 600 bucks. I hire book formatters and proof readers. I have 5 in print and e-book with two more on the way. I hire who I need when I need them. How? By knowing people in the industry. How does one do that? Join writer's groups and get involved. Do side work as a stinger. The best way to save money is to know people and learn how to do as much as you can so you don't need an army of helpers.

why not just self publish and skip the professional editor and if it sells, hire an editor later.

what if I wrote my own cookbook and put it out then write another one so it come out how long will it take to get on the shelves

Those little costs add up! Thanks for breaking this down

How much does it cost to have an editor or someone who knows the laws of putting quotes and real names type of thing in your books? Is it called something different than a editor?

Should I only publish ebook for my first novel?

This was super helpful!

Where r the numbers

Info overload. Need to watch it over again.

Do you think printing in China?

I love the way you broke it down so that it was simpler. I have 20 books to expand on and it looks complicated.

I’d like to know what printing will cost to determine the price of the book.

Anyone know how to figure the (wholesale)cost of actually printing a book using KDP. Nonfiction Full color in particular …..
