“The Self-Publishing Guide” is a collection, which provides information about self-publishing resources. I’ve published three books, and initiated the UBWA as a community of practice for writers of color. Being both an author and the Executive Director of a nonprofit is very rewarding, and I enjoy sharing the knowledge.

This collection contains websites, electronic books, hardcover books and paperback books to help writers successfully publish their manuscripts. Even if they decide to work with a traditional publisher, the knowledge gained remains invaluable.


Who are the end-users of this collection? Whether a non-writing expert, a professional, a student, or a stay-at-home parent, anyone can put their thoughts or expertise into print. With so many aspects of publishing, if not wearing the many hats from editor to agent, this guide also provides information to resources with many professionals in the publishing field. Advanced technology means new book formats are constantly emerging, and every self-publisher needs to know about the most current marketing strategies.
