The manuscript is finished and you’ve decided to Indie publish. So what do you do next? My friend, published Author D.L. Finn, has a handy checklist for you…
Hi SEers! Denise here to talk about an exciting and stressful time, getting a book ready for release.
After you receive your book back from beta readers, if you do that, made your final revisions, and checked it over just one more time—it’s ready to go to your editor. An editor is the one step I recommend you never skip. Even though there are many programs to run it through, they still miss things.
What should you do while you wait for your book to be edited? Here are a few suggestions.
- If you have not done so, now is the time to create a cover or have it done.
- Do you have a blurb?
- Want to do a preorder? You can once you have a cover, blurb, and doable date for release. Here are a few place you can get started: Kindle Publishing (Amazon), Smashwords, or IngramSparks

Thank you for writing it, Denise! Checklists can be great time and sanity savers, and I intend to follow this one, along with some suggestions from your readers’ comments, when I’m ready to release Dragon Guild. ❤
