Self-publishing guru Dan Poynter still has one of the most informative sites around for self-publishers. Much of the information is free and his experience in the industry goes back decades.
This is one of my favourite sites! This site offers so much from so many, it's impossible to write a useful definition for it. Sign up at The Self-Publishing Review and share your own experiences.
Ron Pramschufer has also been around for a long, long time. On his site, you'll find a free eBook that offers loads of tips and useful advice. I got the print version years ago and it's still here on my desk (it has a list of keyboard shortcuts to all of those useful alternates such as the copyright symbol ©, em dashes — and the accent over the é.)self-publishing.com,
Marion Gropen's reference desk offers loads of useful links and information to ease a publisher's way in the business.
Negative remarks about self-publishing getting you down? Read verifiable success stories from some of Booklocker's clients! I've worked on the original covers for many of the books mentioned on that list, and a few that aren't included.
If you don't belong to Linked in, you should. I find the group Book Publishing Professionals, (one of the Linked in groups), to be one of the best around. Years ago, there were a half dozen wonderful online groups for publishers, but they seem to have faded out or changed direction. This one seems to offer the advice and debate forum the way it was back in the good old days.
If you want to convert your print book to Kindle format, then do it right, with tips from Word-layout and self-publishing expert, Aaron Shepard.
Just discovered Author Tech Tips and I'm loving it! A site filled with wonderful ideas to promote authors, their products and the technical how-dos that make them all work.
I was sold on this blog as soon as I saw that book preview widget! A Book Inside is worth the click.
The Dummies' site offers a lot really concise, useful information. I started off using the search terms "self-publishing" and "publish," but ended up reading so many related articles and how-tos I lost track of time. Their ISBN article is excellent for newbies.
