Hello all!
Today, I want to talk a little bit about self-publishing. It's a challenging adventure to get your book out there, but it can be done. Local bookstores, such as Barnes and Noble, will usually support local authors. The Barnes and Noble near me is setting up a book signing sometime in July for Dark Lightning. Social media will become your best friend. It's a way to get your project known to people from other states. Goodreads is my current favorite. They offer advertising at 50 cents a click and there's so many wonderful readers on Goodreads. I love meeting new people and hearing what they like to read as well.
With Self-Publishing, you have to be proactive about your book and be ready for everyone's opinion. I personally love getting feedback because it helps me learn for my future novels. I haven't decided if I'm going to self-publish my next book. Only time will help me decide, considering it's still in the works.
I'd like to add that I will probably start adding videos to my account. Most of them will involve Apollo, my reading buddy. He is the most entertaining bird I've ever owned.
