A complete look at what it takes to be an indie author. I liked how she shared her personal stories for each aspect and outside resources to dig deeper into subjects. I found her advice to be sane and sound. My favourite piece of advice: enjoy what you’re doing.

A good primer for anyone stepping into the realm of self-publishing – and a good reminder of the basics for those who’ve been around the block a couple of times.

Very informative

I loved the concise and honest way the information was presented. It’s a lot of information but it never felt overwhelming.
