Free book-publishing checklist

Know what needs doing, who handles it, and when.

Start with the work that applies to your book, then open any task to see the smaller steps inside it. With a book in your Author Profile, the checklist hides the work that doesn't fit its route, formats, audience, market, or goals. It's built around United States publishing; when a step belongs to one country, we say so. Every explanation is free to read.
