Self-Publishing

I didn’t know what I was getting myself into when I decided to publish my book. If I had known all of the work that went in to self-publishing, I have might thought twice about diving in. In the end, my desire to get The Underdog Theorem out into the world would have prevailed, but I would like to point out to anyone interested in self-publishing that there is an intimidating amount of work ahead of you.

I’ll update this page as much as I can over the next few weeks. I have a lot of work ahead promoting my book, so this page might get ignored from time to time. Speaking of promoting — if you’d like to see the final result of all of this work, pick up a copy of The Underdog Theorem!

For now this will be a rough outline. I’ll organize it better in the coming weeks.
