Show Notes for Episode 15: Publish Your Book: The Authorneer's Journey, Part 7

There two main things to think about during the publishing phase:

* Where are you going to publish it?
* And when are you going to publish it?

After you’ve made those two decisions, the rest is all logistics, which I also cover in this episode.

Highlights from Episode 15: Publish Your Book

* My recommendations of where you should upload your book -- you might be surprised when I recommend more than one place simultaneously!
* Tips on how to time your publishing -- it all depends on your marketing strategy
* What you need to be aware of while you prepare for launch
