Can you write, edit, cut and paste, using a word processing program? Do you know your way around online services such as Dropbox, Fiverr, email, graphic arts programs, creating accounting, and buying services online?

Do you have a good eye for design and layout? Are you artsy-fartsy? Can you see if an element is centered?

Are you good with organizing, scheduling, budgeting, and project management? Do you stay on budget, on time, and plan ahead? Can you see the big picture?

If you are able to see a speck of dust at 10 feet away, for example, or are bothered by crooked pictures, you will be able to handle the level of detail necessary to publish a book.

If you are an impatient person in general, get frustrated, and not open to learning new skills give yourself a 1. If you are generally calm, collected, patient when things do not go according to plan, able to find new solutions, then give yourself a 5. If you are somewhere in between give yourself a 2, 3, or 4.
