Self-Publishing in a Nut-Shell: By Someone Who Cracked the Nut

An A-Z manual on how to self-publish your book by Karen E. Quinones Miller, who self-published her first book in 1999, and sold 3,000 copies in 6 weeks, and ultimately 28,000 copies in six months.

Miller sold the rights, at auction, for six figures and went on to publish seven more books with major publishers such as Simon & Schuster, Warner Book, Grand Central Books. However, she also started her own publishing company which has published a number of bestselling books.

Miller regularly gives workshops on publishing and self-publishing -- and has long been encouraged to write a book -- or books -- on the subjects.
