It’s done. Your manuscript is finished. A WIP no longer. What now? Do you look for affordable agents and well known publishing houses? Do you go to Amazon or another self-publishing site? I chose the second. I was 16. I had stayed up all summer writing and piecing together When Love Begins. I didn’t know anything about the world I was stepping into. And if you’re as lost as I was, here are 3 things I learned self-publishing: 🖋You will lose sleep First you’ll lose sleep writing when the moment is right, and then later, wondering if you did something crazy. You did. Something crazy and amazing. Love and support from the people around you help, but it’s your own personal writing journey. Don’t forget to look around and enjoy it. 🖋It’s an investment Even though self-publishing is nowhere near as expensive as the traditional route, it’s still an investment of time and money. It can be really challenging to take the step of believing that other people will find value in what you’ve produced. But they will. There’s a place for everything. You may not end up on the New York Time’s bestselling, but you will reach people and they will love your words. 🖋It’s very possible You can do it! It looks like a giant mountain at the beginning, but one step after another, you reach the top. And when you look back, the next month, the next year, you can say, “I did that. And I did it myself.” And there’s nothing I know that can replace that. (at The Indie Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGSKi5iFmpN/?igshid=1ep7rnk708hul
