Self-Publishing Advice & Inspirations


Dec 18, 2020

Should authors create their own imprint? Our #AskALLi Member Q&A is hosted by Michael La Ronn and ALLi Director, Orna Ross, and this month they'll be answering this question and more.

Other questions include:

  • What is ALLi's stance on licensing and collecting societies?
  • What is ALLi's recommended pricing strategy for IngramSpark books for full-length fiction paperbacks?
  • I uploaded an ebook to IngramSpark but am not happy how it turned out. Can I unpublish it, publish the ebook through KDP Select and still distribute the paperback through Ingram?
  • What are some "easy wins" I can make in promoting my book since I don't have a lot of time to promote?
