Self-Publishing Without Getting Scammed with Michele DeFilippo

Thinking about publishing a book?

Before you sign a contract or pay a publishing company, make sure you understand what you're getting into.

Tonight, Joe welcomes Michele DeFilippo, founder of 1106 Design, for a practical discussion about traditional publishing, self-publishing, and hybrid publishing—and the costly mistakes aspiring authors should avoid. Michele explains publishing contracts, ISBN ownership, royalties, upfront fees, and how platforms such as Amazon KDP and IngramSpark fit into the process.

They also explore the importance of professional editing and book design, the risks of cutting corners during production, and how artificial intelligence is changing the publishing landscape.

Whether you're writing your first manuscript or preparing to bring a finished book to market, this conversation offers useful guidance for protecting your investment, maintaining control of your work, and producing a professional-quality book.
