I'm writing a book in a niche market, and it's my first one. It seems to me that the following things need to happen to publish my book:

- Finish the book
- Design cover (a friend is helping)
- Edit manuscript (help of multiple people)
- Convert manuscript into proper format for print and ebook (I can do this myself)
- Get the book printed (Amazon)
- Get the book available electronically (Amazon)
- Marketing for the book

I can do some marketing on my own. I have a healthy readership on my blog that can be valuable for marketing purposes. I can handle most of the components I listed. Am I missing any major components to publishing? In the end, what do publishers do for me?
