The Biggest Mistakes Self-Published Authors Make - Part 5 Posted: 24 Sep 2012 05:49 PM PDT This is the final post in my series discussing five of the biggest mistakes that self-published authors make, along with tips on how to avoid them. Mistake #5 - Failing to produce a high quality product. There are more than 300,000 new books published in the U.S. each year (not counting the millions of existing titles that are still available for sale) so each book faces huge competition for readers. If a book hasn't been properly edited or proofread and the cover looks like you did it yourself, it's not realistic to expect it to stack up favorably against the numerous other choices available to book buyers. It's also difficult to get reviews or the support of influencers who can spread the word about your book. If you want to sell books beyond your circle of family and friends, you'll need to write and produce a quality book. If your book has already been published in ebook format, it's easy to edit the book file and upload a new cover. Revising printed books can more of a challenge, depending on exactly how the book was published, but you may want to explore your options if you think that improvements can be made. See my Aspiring Authors page for resources. Are any of the five issues outlined in this article series keeping your book from reaching its full potential? Now is the time take positive steps to give your book a chance to shine!
