Episode notes
What if everything you thought you knew about publishing your book was costing you money before you even made your first sale?
Michele DeFilippo has more than 50 years of experience in the book publishing industry and is the founder of 1106 Design, a company dedicated to helping authors release a top-quality book, keep control of it, and earn more from every copy sold. But what she reveals in this episode may surprise even the most seasoned authors.
Michelle pulls back the curtain on what is really happening in today's publishing landscape, who is quietly taking money out of authors' pockets, and what most first-time authors don't know to ask before signing anything.
In this episode, Michelle breaks down the difference between traditional publishing, indie publishing, and the growing middle ground that may not be serving authors as well as it claims. Listen in to learn more about book publishing options, author rights, and how to protect your income as a self-published author.
