Publishing a book in Canada involves key steps, whether traditionally or through self-publishing. Authors need to prepare a polished manuscript, either submitting it to literary agents or publishers specializing in their genre or opting for a self-publishing platform. For self-publishing, platforms like Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) or Canadian services like BookPublishingCanada are popular. Authors must also register for an ISBN, essential for distribution. Design and formatting are crucial, and professional services can assist. After publishing, marketing and promotion through social media or book marketing agencies play a significant role in the book's success
