This is our archive pageUnderstanding the Book Manufacturing Process as an Author
, by Guest AuthorThe real estate industry is all about location, location, location but in book manufacturing, we focus on communication, communication, communication.

As a self-published author, you should be able to connect with your manufacturer’s representative and customer service department via phone and email.
