FAQ: How I Self-Published: The Bare Basics
My Process: Self-Publishing Tips
PHASE 1: PRODUCTION
Start writing. (See my "Writing Methods" article for writing tips which apply to novels and comic books.)
Edit and proof your work.
Find or hire someone to proof for you. (If you are doing a comic book, you will need to research, interview, and find the right artist(s) ).
Copyright your document. You can add "Copyright (your name, year)" to your document.
Log on to copyright.gov to register your work.
See what do-it yourself templates online print-on-demand publishers offer. This will depend on the size of your book.
Turn your work into PDF format, if this is the format that online print-on-demand publishers require.
Book Design Cover: Some print-on-demand publishing services can design a cover for you for a fee, or some may have free templates, or you can design it yourself, or hire someone.
PHASE 2: PUBLICATION
Choose an online print-on-demand publishing service such as createspace.com that can format, publish, and print your work for you.
Establish an estore through online print-on-demand or build a web site, and you can use paypal to accept credit card payments.
PHASE 3: PUBLICITY AND MARKETING
Learn to describe your book clearly in one sentence. People often only have seconds to listen to and absorb your pitch.
Learn to write in one paragraph or less your book’s synopsis. You can find samples of these online on bookseller sites.
Learn to write short, one-sentence promotional “blurbs” and slogans about your work. I use gossip newspapers and newspaper headlines that are catchy. “In this book, you won’t believe what this Vampire does!” Find catchy lines that inspire curiosity. When you talk to someone about something exciting, you always start off with “You won’t believe what happened!” These blurbs are the same way. They cause people to react with “What? Tell me more!”
Find "buzzwords" and "keywords" that describe your work. Mine are "BadAss Vampires" or "Unusual Vampires" What would get people curious or excited about your work? For instance, I tell people I am bringing back brutal, vicious Vampires, therefore appealing to those who like their vampires, well, scary and gory. Who is your target audience? Mine tends to be not only horror fans, but of course anyone who likes comic books and Vampires (but a certain type of vampire, of course.) Know what makes your different from other writers. What is your message?
To market and promote your work, utilize social networking sites. Build a web site. Schedule a time each day to post and promote your work. What do you want people to know about it? Be sure to include links and images. Create blogs with info about your work, background info on your stories and characters, images etc.
Utilize video ads. Even simple text, images, and music in a 15-20 second video about your books will do. You don't have to do a big budget production to promote your work through a video. There are simple video software and video programs you can utilize.
Utilize video ads. Even simple text, images, and music in a 15-20 second video about your books will do. You don't have to do a big budget production to promote your work through a video. There are simple video software and video programs you can utilize.
Learn to design your own ads, or hire someone to do it for you. Create ads with your blurb, book image, and URL of where to purchase, to the point and enough to catch someone’s eye. Convey enough information in a few seconds when people glance at it. It doesn’t have to be fancy, but have the book cover, your name, book genre, and URL of where to purchase. Imagine someone looking at the ad and saying “Hey, there’s a new gory Vampire book out by this author (name), here’s the web site. Let’s check it out.”
When you design your promotional text, do this test. Have a stack of “junk mail” or ads. Go through them fast. If something catches your eye, and you stop to look at the headline, ask why. Is the text large? Was the headline catchy that it made you stop and look twice?
Learn to write your own press releases. Samples can be found online. A press release announces the who, what, when, where, and why of a product. It can be about you becoming a newly published local author for local publications, or a newly published horror author for horror sites, etc. Write a few different press releases depending on the media you are planning to submit to. Also include a link to your web site or social networking site.
Research blogs online where you can send the info to (for instance, if you have a horror novel, find horror blogs to submit to). Most blogs welcome news submissions, but always ask first before sending anything and follow their submission guidelines. Remember to thank them when they do publish you.
If you have the funds, invest in membership in a press release distribution site.
There are also many genre-specific conventions that you can purchase a booth/table in (if you do have the funds) to promote your book. Check out their submission guidelines. It’s a good place to test market your book and meet fans. Find out if there are also group booth sharing for authors.
MOTIVATIONAL TIPS
Don’t try to please everyone or let anyone tell you how to write or what to write about. People will have different opinions and suggestions and criticisms and you can’t accommodate them all. Write for yourself first. Then have a professional proof and edit for grammar, flow etc.
Stop worrying that what you are writing about is not good enough. You do not need anyone to validate your writing. People will like what they like, and if they don’t, then that’s not your audience. If you constantly worry about what people will think, you will never accomplish anything.
Don’t worry about rejection from the “big publishers” or that you have to give in to demands to rewrite everything in order to be published by someone else. You can publish the work yourself, the way you want it. So what if it's not the biggest best seller. The point is, you published SOMETHING.
I’ve heard many writers complain that they can’t get noticed. You may be more likely to be picked up by a publisher if you establish a track record that you produced something, even if it’s self-published. Publishers are a business, and they want to see a RESULT and a product. Even though you can say you are working on something, waiting to hopefully hear back from a publisher, or planning to write your novel someday, you are more likely to be taken seriously if you have produced something tangible. It’s like walking up to an investor and saying “Can you invest in me?” They will ask why, and if you just say “I have this cool idea”, you will likely be turned down because they don’t see a product or its potential. You’re asking a publisher, and the public, to “invest” in your work, but if you don’t have anything to show other than ideas or talks of plans to get published, you may not get the attention you want.
If you keep thinking that you are a horrible writer and comparing yourself to others, then you are eventually going to believe that’s what you are. It’s up to you to motivate yourself and think positive about your work.
If no one will do it for you or no one else can make your publishing dream come true, (and not everyone will) then you have to learn to do it yourself.
Remember that a lot of writers end up never accomplishing anything because the work and the process is "too hard and time-consuming", “a lot of work", and they always ask "why can't someone else just do it for me", and they give up too soon without even finishing what they started. Self-publishing takes discipline and motivation, resourcefulness, and research. If you choose this route, you are the one who needs to make self-publishing happen, along with finding the right services and , when necessary, hiring the right people to help you produce your work. It all begins with you.
Remember that Self-Publishing is a business, and you have to treat it like one. Learn to mix business sense and discipline with your creative side.

The Story:
Back in the 14th Century there were originally four Guardian Angels who were bitten by Earth Vampires, the predecessors to Gabriel. Unable to get back to Heaven, they roamed the Earth until the Church sheltered them, secretly hiding their existence through vague references of blood drinking in the Bible. Fearing them and thinking they were gods, the Church called these Vampires "Angels". One, Gregory, (who would be Janosʼs father), fled to Transylvania and was sheltered by the Vampire Countess Elizabeth Bathory. The remaining three Angels were hidden by the Church in Italy. They were used by the Inquisition, who fed “sinners” to them. However, the Vampire Guardian Angels, Zeke, Anthony, and Jude, grew tired of their captivity, and escaped, with weapons.
Meanwhile, centuries later, in the present day in Los Angeles CA, an author, Ms. Price, dreams the three Vampire Guardian Angels try to kidnap her in a Church. It is revealed that she has actually done research focusing on the existence of Vampire Guardian Angels in the Bible, and is convinced that because of her dream, they are real.
The Vampire Guardian Angels, who are looking for the author who they consider their “creator”, kill their first victim in the city. The murder is investigated by Detective Costa, who finds black feathers at the murder scene.
The Vampire Guardian Angels target patients in hospitals, feeding off of them, and they are gaining followers consisting of Earth Vampires. The Earth Vampires accept the Vampire Guardian Angels as their new leaders as long as they are fed humans and taken care of.
The author visits Detective Costa and tries to convince him that her dream has come true, and that the killings are caused by Vampire Guardian Angels. Meanwhile, the three Angels target their female victims, feeling entitled to doing so because they were denied what they consider pleasures of the flesh, before killing and feeding on their victims.
Detective Costa gets an emergency call, and Ms. Price insists on going with him. As they get to where the latest victim is being attacked, Ms. Price gets kidnapped by Zeke. However, just as the Angels try to kill Detective Costa, the Guardian Angel Cameron appears and saves him. The three Angels take the author and disappear.
Cameron turns out to have become a Vampire and tells Costa who the three Vampire Guardian Angels are and what they want with Ms. Price. Cameron tells Costa that the Angels were sent to open a portal to let the Vampire Guardian Angels in from Heaven so they can take over Earth, and that the author will be an “offering”. Cameron fights the three Angels as Costa frees Ms. Price, who tells him about what the Vampire Guardian Angels consider a “prophecy”, that they will be led by a new leader, Janos, who will bring all the Vampire Guardian Angels from Heaven to enslave humans, and that the portal is the only way in. Cameron reveals to Costa that Vampire Guardian Angels can only be killed by a Guardian Angel who was evil but who turned back to good. Together, they manage to kill Zeke, Anthony, and Jude. The three angels burn and become balls of light, just like Gabriel did, but Cameron stops their ascent back to Heaven by throwing himself into the dying portal, blocking the portal as it implodes and preventing their resurrection in Heaven. Cameron disappears, presumably killed by the dying portal.

The Story:
On Earth, back in the 15th Century, a Guardian angel, Gregory, sees a vision of the future of Heaven in a dream. Gabriel, now a Vampire in Heaven is biting all the other angels in a bloody, vicious rampage, turning them into Vampire Guardian Angels™.
Gabriel kills Angels who refuse to become Vampires. It turns out that Gregory, already a Vampire but who is stuck on Earth, has been trying to find a way back to Heaven to turn all the angels into Vampires, but his dreams of Heaven many centuries into the future reveal that Gabriel will be the one to do it. Gregory is one of the first Guardian Angels to rebel, and like Gabriel, is sick of answering human prayers. He has produced a son, Janos, with the Vampire Countess Elizabeth Bathory, but the child is stillborn. Gregory tells the distraught Countess that the dead child will reincarnate and become leader of the Vampire Guardian Angels.
Many centuries into the future, a grown-up Janos, now a college student in Brooklyn, New York, finds himself constantly drawn to Churches where he hears multiple voices asking for help, praying to their Guardian Angel, even though none of these peopleʼs lips are moving and no one is talking to him, but he sees them covered in blood. He also sees Angel statues coming to life. He is getting increasingly distraught that he is hearing and seeing things, and tends to stay out all night, which leads to friction between Janos and his girlfriend, Leah, who lives with him.
Meanwhile, a confused and worried Leah is stalked by Gregory, who, being immortal, has followed the progress of his son well into the present day. Janos dreams about Gregory attacking Leah, and, disturbed by the dream, his visions, and the voices, seeks help from the campus psychiatrist, Dr. Harold Lieberman, who only prescribes medication for him. Janos, angry that the psychiatrist cannot help him, storms out.
Janos does not realize that he is really a Vampire Guardian Angel who goes into a trance when he hears prayers of despair. He tracks the voices and feeds off women on campus who pray to their Guardian Angel. This was the reason he stayed out all night, but he does not remember anything the next morning. The bodies are examined by Detectives Graham and Murdock, who find that the victims have been seduced, tied up, and then drained of blood.
Gregory finally decides it is time to reveal himself to Janos at the Church and tell him who he is and about his destiny. Gregory tries to convince Janos of who he is and what he was meant to do, that Janos is a Vampire Guardian Angel and the chosen leader because of his royal heritage from the Countess, and that is why he hears prayers, because he is a Guardian Angel as well. Janos does not believe him and simply continues to believe that he is going crazy, until he goes home and bites Leah..
Leah throws Janos out, and as Janos finds refuge on campus, he hears a conversation between “Earth Vampires” disguised as students who talk about him and the plans of Vampire Guardian Angels to take over Earth and humans. As Janos, hiding on campus, tries to figure out what is real and what isnʼt, Gregory, disappointed in Janos, decides on “plan B” and decides to create another heir, another leader to take Janosʼs place. He kidnaps Leah and claims her as his own, impregnating her.
Janos eventually seems to accept who he is and his fate and goes on a killing spree, feeding off his victims, whose bodies the detectives find in the basement of Janosʼs apartment. Janos has also killed the psychiatrist, Dr. Lieberman, and because he was a patient as well, the detectives identify Janos as the killer. Janos awakens at the Brooklyn bridge, realizing he has wings and can fly. However, Janos decides he will not do what Gregory wants and refuses to honor his destiny as leader of the Vampire Guardian Angels as his father Gregory wanted. Gregory finds Janos on the bridge and tells him he no longer needs him and will get rid of him. But Janos is saved by the detectives, who shoot Gregory. Gregory falls off the bridge and disappears.
Hours later, it is revealed that Janos is actually confined in a mental hospital, and that he is suffering from delusions that he is a Vampire, and that a “Vampire Guardian Angel” was after him. Janos is visited by Leah, and it is further revealed that the recent events were nightmares dreamt by Leah. Leah begs an apparently still-alive Dr. Lieberman to help Janos get better. Distraught, Leah returns home to the apartment, where Gregory, very much alive, surprises and kidnaps her.

Prequel: The Beginning. (This is the prequel where Guardian Angels are first introduced as Serial Killers and have not yet become Vampires.)
Prequel: The Beginning. (This is the prequel where Guardian Angels are first introduced as Serial Killers and have not yet become Vampires.)
In the city of Los Angeles, CA, there is a disillusioned Guardian Angel on the loose. He is a serial killer with serious issues (and not yet a Vampire.). He introduces himself as Gabriel, and he hates his job of watching over humans. He narrates that he's desperate to stop people's prayers, that he's sick of their whining, and that he can't keep up with so many prayers. He admits that he targets only those who are despairing and suicidal and who pray specifically for help to a Guardian Angel. He reveals that he targets them because they are in distress, weak, and are easy victims to kill. However, Gabriel further reveals that he can only kill people by mind control. He can't kill them himself because he is still bound to “protect and serve” humans, and that he's doing this behind Godʼs back. However, he can convince despairing humans to kill themselves and make it look like a suicide or an accident, and to put the blame on the victim. Gabriel is desperate to get humans to "shut the hell up" and stop their goddamned nagging prayers.
Gabriel chooses his first victim. Inside a Los Angeles church, police surrounded a priest with a handgun. The comic series introduces Detective Jay Kirkland who is trying to negotiate with the suicidal priest. However, Gabriel, only visible to the priest, appears in the background and, using his mind control, convinces the priest by psychic mind control to shoot himself. Kirkland fails to save the priest and blames himself for the failed negotiation.
After the incident, Kirkland sits in the church pews, filled with guilt. Heʼs approached by a man who turns out to be his new partner, Detective Cameron, who reveals photos showing the man in black. Meanwhile, Gabriel continues to target victims. In an East Los Angeles neighborhood, he watches a couple, Lupe and Sal, arguing. He targets the depressed Sal and psychically convinces the young man to brandish a gun, to try to prompt the police to shoot him, and commit “suicide by cop”. Kirkland rushes to the scene and again tries to negotiate with Sal. But Gabriel appears and Sal is convinced to shoot, and the cops fire back. Cameron leaps in front of Sal to try to save his life, but is too late. Kirkland, convinced that Cameron is dead, is shocked when Cameron is unhurt. Cameron then reveals that he and Gabriel are Guardian Angels, that Gabriel has gone bad, and that Cameron is there to stop him. And while Kirkland blames himself yet again for what he sees as another failed attempt to save someoneʼs life, Gabriel returns to the coupleʼs house and causes Lupe to commit suicide by stabbing herself.
Across from the coupleʼs house, a widow, Christina Urbain, is comforting her depressed son, Joseph, who had a bad dream in which someone died. Christina advises Joseph to pray to his Guardian Angel. Christina, still grieving for her deceased husband, heads to the church, to pray. Both inadvertently summon Gabriel, but he targets Christina first. Gabriel angrily confronts Christina and tells her how heʼs sick of her “whining”, insulting her and her deceased husband. He suddenly reveals he has a sword, but he is struck with a chair by a priest, who saves Christina. Gabriel disappears. Cameron arrives at the scene to question Christina about the attack, and escorts her home. But Gabriel still stalks Christina, and returns to attack her, but Cameron saves her. Angered, Gabriel stalks another victim in the church, Tammi, and has her kill herself in front of the priest who stopped him.
As Gabriel leaves, he passes a basin filled with holy water, he sees his reflection. Gabriel has a flashback of him being sent as part of a child army during the crusades to fight. As a child he prayed for his Guardian Angel to save him, but he ended up being killed and became an Angel himself. Gabriel reveals that he is filled with rage because no one saved him, and he resents having to spend eternity being forced to save humans. He destroys some angel statues in the Church.
Cameron visits Kirkland who is drinking heavily, still blaming himself for Gabrielʼs victimsʼ deaths. Cameron tries to convince Kirkland that Gabriel is responsible, not him. Then Cameron goes back to the church and finds Christina. They end up falling for each other. Suddenly, Christina gets a call from her panicked babysitter, who tells her a man is after Joseph. Gabriel makes Karen, the babysitter, kill herself. But Cameron appears and stops Gabriel, who says he will come back for Joseph. Gabriel returns to the Church, prompting the priest to call for help. Cameron responds, and takes Christina and Joseph and returns to the Church to look for Gabriel. He tells Christina and Joseph to stay in the car. But he hears a scream and goes back to the car, finding a black feather and both Christina and Joseph gone.
Cameron finds Gabriel has taken Joseph hostage. Gabriel confronts Cameron, telling him why he is killing humans, because he does not want to “play therapist” anymore. Gabriel attempts to make Joseph walk into his sword to kill himself by telling Joseph her can see his dead father again if Joseph does what Gabriel says, but Gabriel sees a mysterious light in Josephʼs eyes. Joseph somehow convinces Gabriel to “go home” and Gabriel admits that Joseph has “the light”, burns up, turns into a ball of light and rises back to Heaven in a tunnel of light as Cameron, Christina, and Joseph are relieved that their ordeal is over.
But a hiding Earth Vampire grabs a hold of Gabriel, and rises with him to Heaven, biting Gabriel, turning him and the rest of the angels in Heaven into Vampires.

A More Disturbing Angel
In my comic books, I explore the more disturbing side of praying to a guardian angel. In my stories, there are people who want to trust but so often end up too dependent on a higher power to help them with their problems. We believe that invoking entities can help us, without knowing what that entity really is. We are so programmed to nag, beg, and totally depend on something or someone else to rescue us and save us. We don’t question who, or what, it is we are praying to.
There’s the phrase "Be careful what you pray for." When you pray to any being, you really don't know who or what you are invoking. I’ve heard people say when they pray to a Guardian Angel that they’ll do anything for their help and guidance. People can become so desperate that they are willing to bargain with these unseen entities. So basically, you are telling an entity that you've never seen that you will do anything. It's an invitation to trouble.
So my Guardian Angels are very disturbing characters, probably one of the most disturbing angels you may read about. With the added twist of being a Vampire.
Be Careful Who You Pray To!
In my stories, Guardian Angels are disillusioned, angry, jealous and homicidal entities who have grown to resent humans and are tired of their "jobs".
They are sick of listening to desperate prayers and choose to get rid of whining humans instead of helping them. Think of an entire customer service complaint department that goes ballistic because of nonstop complaints.
Ever get so tired of someone coming to you constantly, asking for help, that to them you become some sort of savior/therapist? There are so many people who are praying to them, expecting them to rescue them from their troubles. So too many prayers can become overwhelming and with too many people crying out for help, guardian angels in my stories take matters into their own hands.
They decide to do some mercy killing. They target those people in despair and end their lives for them. They can appear in human form or enter your mind and act helpful, sympathetic and charming to get into your head.
And they are Vampires. So not only do they get rid of you, they make a meal out of you too.
So be careful who you pray to!

CNN iReport: Horror Author Lia Scott Price's Comic Book Series brings back vicious, but edgier, Vampires
Torrance, CA, April 2013. Horror Author Lia Scott Price is steadily working to bring back a "more vicious, brutal, psychotic and bloody Vampire".
And she ups the creep factor further, adding an edgy twist by turning an everyday Guardian Angel into a Vampire.
Price has been steadily promoting this goal through her "Vampire Guardian Angels™" comic book series, drawn by Artists Andrew Setter and Colorist/Letterer Chad Hammontree. Price turned her Vampire Trilogy Novel "The Guardian, Revenant, and Dominion", featuring her unique Vampire Guardian Angel characters into 24-page fully-illustrated comic books.
Each story follows the transformation of the characters from helpful Guardian Angel to evil Vampire. Corresponding to each of the 3 stories from the novel, Issue #1 "The Guardian" features a peek at how Guardian Angels became vicious vampires. Issue #2 "Revenant" provides more insight into the character's transformation and motives, and Issue #3 "Dominion" reveals their true origins.
Price also features local bands in her comic books. Los Angeles Death Metal Band Enthraller (enthraller.net) and metal band Death Embraced (reverbnation.com/deathembraced7) make cameos as vampires.
Price is already working on more new sequels and will be introducing new stories and characters to the series. For more info on the comic book series, visit liascottprice.com .

Feedback on Vendor Table at 2013 Maidens of Metal II
I had my vendor table and sold /signed some comic books at the MAIDENS OF METAL II - 2013 Show at THE VEX /ARTS L.A. presented by METAL INVICTUS & THE VEX on Saturday, April 6, 2013.
I had some great feedback on the test run of my comic books at a live event. People were excited to see vicious and gory vampires (and the blood and gore) being brought back, and really liked the artwork and thought it was incredible. Everyone I talked to was really glad there was "no sappy romance" in the comic books and that it was action-packed and quite brutal which they wanted to see, and that it was nice to see local bands featured in the comic books. I also had positive comments about my artists' work from other talented artists as well and I thank them for their support and feedback!
Thank you to Metal Invictus, Angie Gabriel and The Vex for having me as a first-time vendor at the show, the bands with female metal musicians were incredible and amazing, the vendors had some awesome merch, and thank you for everyone's support, and I met some great people and new fans too! It was a great experience! :D
With Rachel Solis, bassist of the all-female metal band Harlequin. Check them out! \m/
