Hey, I'm writing a novel and I could really use some advice on what site to use to publish it. Anyone with experience with self publishing please help.
I have heard good things about Smashwords and Lulu. If you do not want to spend money, I would suggest going with Smashwords, as Lulu charges for the ISBN.
I would recommend doing your own research, so you can make the better choice for yourself.
Amazon and createspace (for print). Put it into Kindle Unlimited and see what happens. If it's part of a series then you have the choice of keeping it out of Kindle Unlimited and going wide to other publishers in order to make the first one free as a loss leader. It depends on what you want and your genre.
Check out the writers corner at Kboards.com for more help. They have a lot of self-published authors there that are in your shoes.
Oh, and if you're looking for a cover, I'd be happy to do one for you on the cheap! The link to my DA is below.
