Can you self-publish a book for less than US$300? Since 2016, I have been helping Indie authors to publish their books on a budget. The first author I helped to do this was a retiree who published a small print and ebook of 15,000 words for about US$150.

Her feat was repeated by a younger author in 2018, and not to be outdone, I published my 23,000 –word book for (US$32.00). This was after spending over US$5000 the first time around.
Publishing independently can be quite a costly venture but those costs can be reduced by publishing a small book. This is one of my 7 Secrets to Publishing on a Budget.
I call these Ruth-like books, mirroring my name and the small yet powerful book of Ruth in the Bible. A small book is between 10,000 and 25,000 words. Between 10K and 15K is ideal.
These are usually non-fiction how-to, memoirs, devotionals, poetry, manuals or inspirational books. To find out more about the power of a small book, click the link below to read a blog post about it.
