The Right Way to Self Publish by Zorina Exie Frey is a guide to all aspiring writers on what to do when it comes to self-publishing. She covers all the details extensively, making it educative and easy for someone who is looking into self publishing. She explains from proof reading to editing to getting your manuscript ready and finally to finding the right publisher in detail, leaving the reader with no doubt whatsoever. The marketing of the book and the royalties part is also discussed.

The book is very useful and it is packed with information. The author has studied the whole process. Each chapter deals with the nuances and finer details that must be considered when deciding to self publish. The information is put across in a way that is clear to anyone reading the book. The question and answer sessions are really helpful. I thought getting the manuscript ready and acquiring an ISBN code are very useful chapters. They are vital in any book publishing project.

The section on how to go about looking for a publisher is also very informative. The technical aspects on the spacing and illustrations are also discussed. Overall, it is an excellent guide for aspiring authors.
