The CraftBeacon Field Guide has been expanded and reorganized into two focused sections, so you can go straight to what you need.

The Business of Publishing

Amazon and KDP mechanics, the library distribution opportunity, print distribution through IngramSpark and KDP, and ISBN visibility.

Reaching Readers

Paid social and Meta ad defaults, Reddit and genre communities, Goodreads verification, and the online patterns worth recognizing.

Everything that was here is still here. Bookmarks to this page will keep working.
