If you are thinking of self-publishing, go to my LINKS tab above and see what I did to get started. There are also links to the IRI group, 1000+ members who are not only welcoming but also willing to share tips with you!
Self-publishing and being an independent authors is lots of fun and a lot of work, but if you are patient and take one thing at a time, you'll enjoy every step of the ride. Just like writing a book, it can't all be done in one day.
Most important of all, stay positive and don't worry about slow sales at first. Say YES to interviews and blogging. Try to get your books reviewed. Send one request to a reviewer every day and eventually someone will agree to review your book. Remember...what works for one author, might not work for another. For instance, I love Kindle Direct Publishing's Prime Lending program, but it doesn't seem to work for everyone. I also believe in FREE, because sometimes a book needs a little push. Mrs. Fields walked the streets giving out samples of her cookies before she made it big. If you don't like the idea of going FREE, then don't! It's that easy. It's all up to you. Believe in yourself and your books. You can do it!
If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask. I plan to write 10,000 words this week. How about you?
If you are a READER, thanks for stopping by. Let me know what you would like to see posted!
