This section of the Open Publishing Guide will help you through the entire self-publishing process. From planning to publishing, these sections inform you on each of the four publishing steps. Take a deeper look into each step for a better understanding on what is truly involved in self-publishing.

We have supplied you with video tutorials based on the workflow of publishing. Frank Cost, Associate Dean in the College of Imaging Arts & Sciences at the Rochester Institute of Technology, has prepared video tutorials for each publishing step.

Sean Conklin, a New Media Publishing major in the College of Imaging Arts & Sciences at the Rochester Institute of Technology has also designed freely available book production templates to help you with the layout and design of your publication. He also has prepared video tutorials on how to properly use them during the process.

Please use these pages to inform and educate yourself on the publishing process. We also encourage you to visit our Vimeo video page, at http://vimeo.com/opl/videos to see other videos produced by the Open Publishing Guide as well as the Open Publishing Lab.
