Below are links to book publishing, printing, marketing resources I love. I am constantly adding to this list (which I started on March 13, 2011). Obviously, it’s a work in progress.

- Jennifer Wilkov (@litmatchmaker)
- Kristin Miller (@agentkristin)
- Steven Malk (@stevenmalk)
- Jacquie Flynn (@bookjacquie)
eBook Conversion, Publishing & Distribution
- PublishGreen.com (Owned by my company, but it’s hands down the best ebook conversion / publisher / distributor out there).
- Smashwords
Self-Publishing Resources
- Go-Publish-Yourself.com (Free to join. Members get exclusive content and discounts on self-publishing services from the site’s partners).
- WritersWrite.com
- http://mickrooney.blogspot.com/ (good blog about self-publishing).
Copyright Registration
