JaNae asked Elizabetta Holcomb:

Is it difficult being an indie author like how do you get the word out about your books?

Elizabetta Holcomb I have an amazing editor who happens to be an author as well and I also have an author friend; both walked right on the side of me, showing me the ropes of the indie publishing world. But both of them are Adult Contemporary Romance authors and were out of their element when it came to YA. So, I had to muddle through it at times. The best thing I did was connect with the YA community on IG. They have been THE best! Most of my ARCs were picked up by young bloggers on YA. They are a humble, amazing group of people who are sincerely about spreading the word of a good book. I love it!
Also, something that I have been told is that news of good book still spreads like it always has; by word of mouth and people sharing. Any good book has its origins. My new saying is that I had to start somewhere. That start just so happens to be called The Guardian.
You have to start somewhere; anywhere! Just start!If it is good, then it will speak for itself and take off no matter how you publish.
