What are the main steps to prepare and promote my fiction novel?
I completed a draft of a fiction book that several friends have read and enjoyed. Assuming I can raise the money on Kickstarter, what services should I employ to maximize success of the book? I plan on releasing it as an eBook and in paperback.
Obviously I need the following:
- Professional content editing
- Professional cover and artwork design
- Professional self-publication (like iUniverse and Kindle)
- Professional marketing and promotion
What else should I add to this list?

If you want to maximize the success of your book, seek professional publication. Being successful with self publishing is like being successful playing the lottery. Even those who win small prizes now and then pay out more than they take in, and the real jackpots are incredibly rare.
But is you actually manage to raise money for self publishing on Kickstarter, do let us know, because, frankly, I assume that is impossible.
