How to get an ISBN barcode + do you need a publishing imprint and logo for your self-published book?

I started talking about whether you need a publishing imprint, logo or 'button' for your book cover; but also talk about getting ISBNs, whether they should be registered to your publisher name (whether or not you even need one), and how to get a barcode made for free. (You can use the free tool on my site for that: bookcovers.creativindie.com).

NEW: I put together an "indie author survival guide" that will help you self-publish without getting ripped off: creativindie.com/indie-author-survival-guide-se…

Hey there - I'm Derek Murphy. I'm a fine artist who became a book cover designer, then started writing young adult scifi and fantasy. I've spent almost 20 years living abroad, have a PhD in comparative literature (revolutionary politics in Paradise Lost), and have been featured in CNN for renting castles to use as writing retreats. Although I'm not working with clients anymore, I've built a ton of resources to help indie authors write, design and publish bestselling books.

On this channel, I talk about writing, publishing and creating personal freedom with unconventional business strategies and providing value. My videos are unpolished and a little raw, because we travel full-time and I focus on content, not production quality.

If you're a writer, artist, or entrepreneur, make sure you SUBSCRIBE - then let me know what you need help with, and I'll make a video just for you! Here are some resources to get you started:
