Books come in multiple print and digital formats. For credibility and more sales, you’ll need to cover your bases and adapt your manuscript to multiple formats.
The omnipresent dilemma. Balancing in-house publishing efforts in-house (albeit a house of one) and outsourced tasks requires a good grasp of your abilities and budget.
