FAQs
Common questions
How many copies should I print first?
Fewer than you think. Start with a small run or print on demand, then reprint as demand appears. See our guide on print quantities for first-time authors.
My manuscript is not finished. Can I still start?
Yes. We can discuss editing and structure at draft stage so you do not pay to format text that will change.
Do I need an agent?
Not to self-publish. Agents matter mainly for traditional publishing deals.
