Askalli: Self-publishing Advice Podcast

How can I set my first book up for success? This is among the questions answered on our #AskALLi Members Q&A hosted by Michael La Ronn, author of science fiction and fantasy novels as well as author self-help books; and ALLi Director, author, and poet Orna Ross. Other questions include: Do I need to purchase barcodes for my paperback book? Offset printing vs. print on demand? Which is better? Is there any way to create a spine for a short book (32 pages)? Would ALLi ever consider doing a lootbox or a member-based box set? Who manages a traditional publisher's sales pages? What can authors learn from that? And more!
