How To Self Publish A Book In Canada

At Indie Publishing Group, one of the most popular questions we’re asked is, ‘How to self-publish a book in Canada?’ It’s a good question, and the answer can feel quite intimidating when you are a first-time author who has never self published a book.

Below, we’ll outline the self-publishing process so that when you start navigating the self publishing process yourself, you’ll have a little more of an idea of what steps are involved.

One. It All Starts with Writing – The first step in the self publishing process starts with you and writing your book. However, some people have an excellent idea for a book but no time or expertise to write it, and they might work with a professional ghostwriter.

Two. The Next Step Is Editing – Once you have written your manuscript and done a comprehensive self-edit, you’re ready for professional editing services. As an author in Canada, you have several options when it comes to editing services, including copyediting, developmental editing, and proofreading.

Three. Now It’s Time for Ebook and Paperback Formatting – When you’re 100% happy with your manuscript, and you have chosen your desired trim size, it’s time for ebook formatting and paperback formatting. This is where you turn your manuscript into a book. Professional book formatting services in Canada will turn words on a document into a physical book that a reader can have and hold.

Four. Professional Covers Sell Books – Nothing screams self-published more than a bad book cover. While we’d all like to believe that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, many buyers do. A professionally designed ebook cover or paperback cover will sell more books. 

Once you have completed the four self publishing steps above, you’ll be ready to self-publish your book on sites such as Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), IngramSpark Publishing, or one of the many self-publishing companies we mentioned above.

Self-publishing in Canada doesn’t have to be complicated, and with Indie Publishing Group, we’ll make self publishing your book a dream thanks to our affordable and comprehensive Canadian self publishing services and packages.

As one of the most popular and best-rated self publishing companies in Canada, our excellent reviews and testimonials speak for themselves, and we’re proud to assist Canadian first-time authors and self published authors in producing high-quality books.

Self Publishing FAQs

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions that Canadian authors ask. If you want to self publish in Canada and have questions, you’ll find the answers below.

• As a Canadian author, can I self-publish my book on Amazon KDP?
  Yes! Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) has marketplaces worldwide where your book will be self-published.

   

• Can I self-publish my book on multiple self-publishing platforms?
  Of course. There are a variety of self-publishing platforms, and getting your book self-published on multiple platforms simultaneously can increase your reach and allow you to put your book in front of more readers. However, if you enroll your ebook in Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited program, you can’t list your ebook on any other platforms.

   

• Should I get my own ISBNs?
  Yes! While Amazon allows you to publish your ebook using one of their ASINs, having your own ISBN will give you the ability to control your book and also self-publish it on multiple platforms. You can learn more about ISBNs in this article, Do I Need An ISBN for My Book In Canada?
  
  
• What Is Print On Demand (POD)? Almost all self-publishing platforms, including Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, offer self-published authors in Canada the ability to utilize their print-on-demand (POD) services. POD means that when someone buys a copy of your book from Amazon, Amazon will print it and ship it directly to them. You won’t have to handle any of the logistics and simply collect a royalty from the sale. Check out this article: What Is Print On Demand for Authors?
