Micropublishing is neither fish nor fowl. It falls between the two stools of self-publishing and small (but still larger) indies. Micros publish a few books a year but they operate with their own logic, have distinct goals, and use tools different from either small presses or self-publishers. As such, a micropublisher struggles to get information appropriate to just it, or even to understand its constituent parts. This book is unique in that it lays out what a micropress is, how it differs from either the self-publisher or the indie press, and how it can best operate regardless of what the goal of the micropress is. The book is friendly and personal, honest about mistakes to avoid and, above all, highly informed and experienced. This book is an excellent guide for those who want to explore professionalising their publishing, for businesses which want to use micropublishing to organically grow, for colleges and writing co-ops, and for those who want to start and grow their own publishing company.
