On this episode of the Pub Date podcast we discuss the big question in book publishing: Should you release the hardcover before the paperback?

We've seen it all when it comes to this conversation. Authors like the prestige of having that hardcover with dust jacket at a book signing, but as a self-published author does that matter? When it comes to formats we're agnostic.

There are pros and cons to everything in book publishing. And if you're self publishing your next book, you can do what makes sense for you, your business, and your bottom line.
