    Hello. Thanks for this video-very helpful content. You seem to suggest that “self-publishing”is for online/digital publishing and not hard copy printing for which there would be additional costs and steps. Do the platforms you mention have instructions for getting your book hard copy printed along with being digitally published? Thanks for clarifying.

    • @thelifeofawriter
      @thelifeofawriter  4 месяца назад

      Self-publishing is for both digital and physical copies of books. When you are uploading your book on Amazon for example, you will choose how you wish to publish whether its a Kindle version, paperback, or hardcover. This video provides instructions on uploading your book on Amazon 👉🏾 ruclips.net/video/HS4O4E9RQcc/видео.html
