How do I create a budget for publishing my book?

Creating a budget for publishing your book involves several key steps. First, identify all potential costs such as editing, cover design, formatting, and marketing. Have you already estimated any of these costs?

I think editing will be around $1,500 and cover design about $500.

Great start! So, that's $2,000 so far. Don't forget to include costs for formatting and any marketing expenses. Do you have estimates for those?

I haven't thought about formatting yet. What should I consider?

For formatting, consider whether you'll do it yourself or hire a professional. Costs can range from $300 to $1,000 depending on the complexity. Would you like tips on DIY formatting?

Yes, that would be helpful!
