Taylor Swift is Self-Publishing a Book

You can self-publish your book, too!

Taylor Swift is about to become the highest-profile self-published author in the world.

Recently Swift announced plans to release a commemorative book about her record-breaking Eras Tour on Black Friday (Nov. 29, 2024). The book will be sold exclusively at Target. It’s not only a great deal for Target, but it lets Swift retain creative control of the book and maximize her share of the profits.

Two reasons why this might be important to you:

• If you’ve got a Swiftie on your Christmas list, you may want to plan to get a copy of this book.
• If you’ve been thinking about writing and publishing a book, you should definitely consider being your own publisher.

Allow me to take a page from Taylor Swift’s playbook and do some self-promotion. If you’re interested in getting your book published, your first step should be to read Simple Facts About Self-Publishing: What authors and indie publishers need to know to produce a great book.
