Next, you need to choose a self-publishing platform like Amazon KDP or Ingram Spark,. You can even consult with the book publishers, who can help you with this, without affecting the rights. Structure your book for print and digital distribution. You also need to write a compelling book description and keywords, set your price and royalties, upload your files and then promote and market your book to reach readers.
