Self-publishing questions

Self-publishing means you publish your book yourself and keep your rights. Most of the work is in preparing the book well: a clean manuscript, a cover that suits the genre, correctly formatted files and an accurate listing.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an editor before I publish?

Most books benefit from professional editing, and a proofread before publication is strongly recommended. DREM Book can advise which edit your manuscript needs.

Do I need an ISBN?

Retailers and libraries often use ISBNs to identify editions. Requirements vary by retailer and country. We can explain the options for your book.
