One book, from each
Self-Publishing in German — the handbook, fully updated.
Germany is one of the world's largest book markets, and increasingly accessible to indie authors prepared to do the work. This handbook is a practical guide to entering it well.
Across the new edition, Skye B. covers commissioning and vetting translators, German title and trademark law, formats and distribution (ebook, print, audio), pricing, and the realities of marketing in a language you may not speak.
With interviews, case studies and worked examples drawn from authors already publishing successfully in the territory.
