The biggest mistake I see authors make
The biggest mistake I see authors make is using the free ISBNs that Amazon and other stores provide. This is only one of the pitfalls new publishers make when they're eager to get their books up for sale fast. Slow down a little and learn more about how to publish professionally before you click that PUBLISH button!
I love setting authors on the right path to publishing independently and successfully. Check out my list of services here.
