Mili Fay: Adventures In Publishing

PUBLISHING RESOURCES

Resources Mili Fay used to publish her book.

Learn About Publishing

Self Publishing in Canada: A complete guide to designing, printing and selling your book by Suzanne Anderson.  This book focuses on getting your book ready to publish in Canada (step by step), with some tips on what you can do after.  You can also purchase a new edition e-version from her site.

I have recently discovered a UK website with a lot of useful publishing information: www.stinkyinkshop.co.uk/book-publishing-guide/. At the time I was reviewing the site, some of the links did not work properly, and there is not enough information about publishing a book by yourself--the site concentrates on services that can publish for you. Nevertheless, it does contain a lot of useful information.
