Un-Gatekeeping Self-Publishing with Ellen Polk

Everyone you know wants to write a book… But how do you actually do that?

In this episode, I’m joined by Ellen Polk to actually break down the pieces of self-publishing (and a little trad publishing too.)

We’re covering why you probably have enough content for a draft already, how you can still have a team in self-publishing, why traditional publishing isn’t necessarily a smaller investment, and at the end of the day, how you actually get your ROI from a book you’ve written. Let’s get started!

What’s in this episode:

  • [00:00] Intro

  • [00:20] ⁠Make managing your taxes simpler and less expensive

  • [02:23] An introduction to Ellen and her company, Sage House Editorial

  • [04:39] Why, if you make content, you already have enough material for a book draft

  • [12:35] Why self-publishing doesn’t mean doing everything alone

  • [15:43] Breaking down how self-publishing vs traditional publishing works (including their similarities)

  • [21:09] How to think about the ROI of it all

  • [26:55] How getting clear on the problem you’re solving with your content and your book

Join Collective and make managing and filing your taxes so much simpler (and less expensive!)
