How to write a book for self-publishing

You can simply start writing your book in MS Word. It is better to have knowledge of page size and margin setup. Because at the time of publishing you will have to choose a book size and your doc file’s page size should be of the same size as the book size. Also, you have to use the recommended margin of your word file.

 For your reference, here I am giving you some recommend standard sizes in inches for different types of books,

Fiction: 4.25 x 6.87, 5 x 8, 5.25 x 8, 5.5 x 8.5, 6 x 9

Novella: 5 x 8

Children’s: 7.5 x 7.5, 7 x 10, 10 x 8

Textbooks: 6 x 9, 7 x 10, 8.5 x 11

Non-fiction: 5.5 x 8.5, 6 x 9, 7 x 10″

If you are planning to self publish your book for the first time then my advice is to start with a book of a small number of pages. Do you know you can even publish a book with 10 pages only!

As you are self-publishing the book all by yourself so your first few books will not be perfect and it is very common for all self-publishers. But if you are very serious about perfectness then you have to hire professionals. You can very easily find professional freelances on freelancing platforms like Fiverr, freelancer, Upwork etc. I haven’t hired any professionals till now and I have sold 150+ books in the year 2021. In 2022 I have taken a target of 500+ books to sell.

I do a full-time job that is my mainstream income. Passive income for the first few years doesn’t give a good earning. But some extra earnings every month is not bad, right? And who knows in a few years your passive earning source won’t become your mainstream income?

How to design the cover for self-publishing

Let’s consider you have successfully written your book. So now you have to design the front and back cover for your book.

I am not a professional graphic designer but I design my book covers by myself.

The self-publishing platforms will let you use their free tool to create a book’s front and back cover.

Though you will find great help from the most popular online graphic design platform Canva.

Canva is free with limited usage. You may subscribe for paid if required. Or you can simply pay for premium photos if you want to use them. The paid photos only cost 1USD. I am using Canva since 2017 and almost in all graphic design, I use free images.

The platform I have used to self publish my book in India

Possibly in 2015, I self-published my first book (Communication English) from a self-publishing website in paperback format.

After I published my book, my book was only sold from that self-publisher website. And I didn’t see any noticeable sales within a year.

Then I applied for distribution on other eCommerce websites that cost me 1500 INR. After I made the payment then my book was listed on Amazon and Flipkart websites. But also I couldn’t make any good sales. Only my students would buy when I recommended them.

The book cost was very high and I could only make a profit of 60 INR per sale for the book that was listed on Amazon for 500 INR.

Later I came to know about Notion Press in 2021. From Notion Press I published another book that I completed writing during the lockdown period due to COVID.

Notion Press didn’t charge me any single rupee to distribute my book on Amazon, Flipkart and other platforms. After my book was published I started getting sales reports from the platform.

The continuous sales report gave me the energy to write more books. And I wrote and published some more books.

Here is the list of books I have published from Notion Press

I have also published my book’s digital version from KDP Amazon. Every month I also notice continuous sales from KDP.

Then I came to know about Google Play Books platform where I can also self publish my book’s in digital format. So I have published my books on the platform. And I have got a few sales every month from there too.

Above all from Notion Press, I have earned more than any other platform.
