How to Make Your Self-Published Book Better

3 min read

The good news for self-published authors today is that the options for improving their books continue to expand every year. If this means publishing a book on par with titles from big-time companies is more doable than ever before. The available services range from print fulfillment houses to a growing number of high-quality content preparation professionals. When your independently published book has the same caliber of editing and cover design as titles from well-known houses, you'll hold your own when readers decide which one to buy. The quality of your book matters more than how it was published.

There's no doubt that print-on-demand continues to get attention because it reduces financial and other responsibilities. It's worth a close look for your book, but don't dive in until you're given other methods and a fair hearing. There's more profit margin in printing your book directly and selling them from your website or eCommerce platform. Using a traditional printer also makes it easier to sell in stores, your local bookstore included. Working with a book distributor may even help get you onto the shelves of big box stores. They sell a surprising number of books thanks to their higher customer traffic.

Before you decide how to print your book, it's wise to do some "benchmarking" against other successful titles in your genre. What have they done to stand out? While you don't want to copy them or repeat anything already done, you can take their idea and improve on it. Book buyers are like other consumers and like something new in sequence with what they already know. It's an approach that keeps new ideas understandable and desirable to your target readers and boosts sales. The competition is fierce in every category, and staying ahead of the pack will give your book an edge.

It's wise to consider trim size, binding, and cover design for your book project. Each can play a role in supporting your marketing efforts. The trick is to make your work appear professionally published and of the highest quality. When target readers compare your book with others they may buy, you want to make the sale. Even if book sales aren't your primary goal and you're using your book for personal or business promotion, it must look good and read well. Cutting corners or trying to handle some aspects of DIY can cost you readers and prestige. You'll never regret producing the best book you can.
