Hi all,
I have some basic questions regarding self-publishing I hope someone here can answer. Apologies if anything has been covered before in a previous thread.
1) I've been told that a good way to avoid legal trouble if your book becomes successful is to create an LLC and self-publish under that. It's not fool-proof, but it might shield your personal assets from any lawsuit. Has anyone here done this and had any experience with it?
2) When uploading your MS to the various platforms (KDP, PubIt, etc) is there any copyright issues with who owns your work? As far as I can tell, there is not. Is that also the case if you use Create Space to convert your MS into a ebook file?
3) I've always heard the cover is the most important part of any ebook and should be professionally designed? Does anyone have a good range of how much is acceptable to pay for a professionally designed cover? Is there anyone you can recommend?
Thanks!
