If you're a self-publishing author, you're handing over up to 65% of every sale to a retailer — and you don't even get your reader's name.

No email address. No way to follow up, bundle, or reward loyalty. No customer data, no pricing control, and no recourse if the algorithm shifts or your account gets flagged. The reader belongs to the platform, not to you.

The D2C Author is the practical guide to changing that — building your own store, owning the relationship with your readers, and keeping the income that's currently going elsewhere.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

·Launch a store that handles payments, tax, and digital delivery from day one

·Build product pages and checkouts that turn browsers into buyers

·Set up email automations that sell around the clock, using data only you can see

·Bundle your catalogue, add order bumps, and raise average order value without extra traffic

·Run launches, promos, and affiliates entirely on your own terms

·Build subscription and membership tiers for recurring income that doesn't reset at every launch

·Sell signed copies, print editions, and merch direct to your most devoted readers

From your first product page to a 90-day growth roadmap, this is the guide to owning the reader relationship — and keeping what you earn.
