Setting your budget depends on many factors, most importantly:
– How much of the work are you willing to do yourself?
– Who can you get to help you at little to no cost?
– How polished do you want your final book to be?

Depending on your answers to these questions, a fair estimate of your costs could range anywhere from $2,000 to around $5,000.

In this video, I explain where you should spend your money. I’ll show you how to allocate your funds based on your budget range. And I’ll show you where publishing service providers try to overcharge writers who aren’t familiar with fair prices.
