The Publishing Decision Tree

Congratulations! You’ve written a book and now you want to share it with the world.

You know you want to self-publish your book, but you’re brand new to that process. Perhaps you’ve done some looking around and you know that there are thousands of resources to help you with every step of the self-publishing process.

But it would take you a lifetime to filter through all that material. You want to know what steps you should take to get from manuscript to finished project.

This resource will help you do that. Answer a few questions and you will get a list of actions you need to take. Drop down menus in the response form will provide more information and, wherever possible, we’ve linked to more in-depth training material. 

As always, the Apex Authors support team is available to help you navigate through the steps. Just reach out!

Login to access any checklists you have created within the last 30 days. You do not need to be logged in to use this tool, however you will need to bookmark your checklist if you wish to access it again in the future if you are not logged in when you answer your survey.

Results can be bookmarked and revisited for up to 30 days. Please print or save as a PDF if you wish to keep your checklists for any longer than that.

We will be making regular updates to the decision tree over time.
