This is my second self-published book and I've loved this approach. It lets me focus on writing and marketing, and I get to craft every aspect of the book.
- asimjalis 7y agoHow did you publish the landing page?
- raboukhalil 7y agoThe landing page is static HTML hosted on GCP's cloud storage platform.
- kerng 7y agoDid you know what typical minimum page count requirements are? I have a non-technical, more program management focused book with about 100 pages. Was told by a publisher it's too short... wondering how you approached that when self publishing, since your post mentions it's about 100-150 pages. Did you get any feedback from readers that it is too short?
- raboukhalil 7y agoI have not received feedback that my book was too short. In my own experience, I've rarely ever completed a technical book--in fact, I've often wished they were shorter!
- kerng 7y agoI have the same takeaway, many technical books with 300+ pages seem more like reference material rather then being focused on teaching the reader.
