1. You’ve Self-Published a Book. Now What?
Self-publishing has become the norm, giving authors greater flexibility, creative freedom, and (let’s be honest) better royalty potential.
Millions of books are published each year, and most of them—you guessed it—are self-published. That’s a lot of books and a lot of authors. The real challenge? Getting your book into the hands of readers.
Maybe you’ve tried selling in local stores. You remember the euphoric feeling of handing over your book—your pride and joy—only to watch it sit on a shelf, unmoved and collecting dust. Frustrating, to say the least.
So what other options are there?
2. Traditional Online Platforms
Platforms like Amazon KDP and Draft2Digital help get your book onto the market, but they may not be enough. Competition is fierce, visibility is limited, and a significant portion of your profits goes elsewhere.
What if there were a place where you could advertise and sell your books on demand—without collecting dust or burning a hole in your pocket?
Night Nook Books may be your answer.
