Great insight! I have made several vids on writing. This was a super insight 😊.

Great information Emma. I started my own small press back in 2017 after years of self-publishing, and it has been a roller coaster ride. I mainly publish visual poetry, experimental poetry, and asemic writing, so money isn't really something I need to worry about. Currently, I am studying editing and publishing at a university. I write strange and experimental books, and I don't know if they would appeal to a main-stream audience. I hope you are successful with your book publishing!

That sounds fun

Very helpful. A very good overview. Thank you.

You are welcome!

I’ve recently purchased ISBNs from Nielsen for my first self published book. I entered a publishing name that I came up with but do I have to create/register a publishing company or can I just list my publisher name when I upload to Amazon?
Very helpful videos by the way! I left primary school teaching to write children’s books so your content resonates with me!

[@EmmaRosenBooks]

Technically that business exists. Yes you just list your name on Amazon, but also have a think about how you would like that company to function legally and financially

[@mat_willment]

@@EmmaRosenBooks So have I created an imprint technically as opposed to a company? And if so, what issues will I have if I don’t register a company?

[@EmmaRosenBooks]

@@mat_willment if you’re going to be making money it’s a business. It is also an imprint.
