So you’ve decided to self publish your book.

This practical guide contains a wealth of information about many of the more mysterious aspects of producing and selling a book, such as copyright, printing, and marketing. It also includes a list of useful addresses, and an index of common publishing and printing terms. 

Please note that certain details in the current edition of the Self Publisher Guide are now out of date. 

A revised edition is planned, but meanwhile please check http://www.thorpe.com.au/support/support_links.htm
for more up-to-date contact details.

Also, Guide to New Australian Books is now longer published. Australian and New Zealand publishers should use the free online BowkerLink system to ensure full and complete details of their publications appear in the Global Books in Print database, including annotations and cover images.
