Keeping More of Your Royalties as a Self-Publisher

Too many self-published authors spend months—or even years—writing a book only to discover they are earning far less than they expected. Hidden fees, unnecessary middlemen, poor distribution strategies, and a lack of publishing knowledge can quietly reduce the income authors worked so hard to achieve.

In Keeping More of Your Royalties as a Self-Publisher, Author Mimi Taylor provides a practical, straightforward guide to help independent authors take greater control of their publishing journey. Whether you're publishing your first book or expanding your catalog, this book equips you with the knowledge to make informed decisions that protect both your work and your profits.

Inside you'll learn how to:

• Choose the right self-publishing path for your goals.
• Understand royalties, pricing, and distribution.
• Sell books directly to readers and increase your profit margin.
• Build your author brand for long-term success.
• Avoid common publishing mistakes that cost authors money.
• Create multiple income streams from your books while maintaining ownership and control.

Written from the perspective of an independent publisher and author, this guide is designed to empower writers with practical strategies—not complicated industry jargon—so they can publish with confidence, build a sustainable author business, and keep more of what they earn.

Because your book isn't just a manuscript—it's an investment. Learn how to protect it, market it wisely, and maximize every royalty you've worked so hard to earn.
