Description –
Publishing a book is not the same as building a publishing enterprise. Whether you are preparing to release your first book or planning a sustainable catalog, this program breaks down the essential building blocks—company formation, imprint strategy, publishing operations, and discoverability-driven marketing. You will learn when an imprint is enough, when a legal company is required, how to establish a legitimate publisher identity, and how discoverability ties every decision together. This is a practical, no-nonsense roadmap for authors who want to publish professionally and position their books as long-term assets.
