10 Things to Have Ready Before You Publish
A Pre-Publish Readiness Checklist for Self-Publishing Authors
 
This checklist helps authors gather the essential items they need before uploading their book. It walks through the final manuscript file, professional cover design, ISBN and barcode, copyright registration, trim size, formatting specs, metadata, author bio, headshot, pricing, distribution plan, launch materials, and early reviews or endorsements.
 
This resource helps authors avoid the stress of reaching the upload stage and realizing important pieces are missing.
 
Best for: authors who are close to publishing and need a simple readiness check before moving forward
