This hefty guide by an Australian author has it all for people who want to publish their own book in Australia. It has an exclamation mark because having your own book is exciting. It is subtitled: Write, publish and promote your non-fiction book: A self-publishing guide for Australian writers. It is a great effort to pull all the relevant information together. There are five main sections. As well as covering the basics of writing and editing and publishing, it also covers those neglected topics of distribution, marketing and leveraging.

There are lots of subheadings to find content easily. The extra tips and insights from various experts scattered throughout are useful, although sometimes it is confusing who was saying what (the author or the interviewed expert). Who doesn’t know and love Kim McCosker, best-selling author of the 4-ingredients recipe books.

Anna thanks all the people involved at the back of the book, showing it really does take a team to get a book published, whether it is a traditional publisher or self-publishing. Anna has published her own books and learnt from the experience.

The book is published by Anna’s imprint CapeAble Publishing, 2022.
