I include writing tips on my website (http://david-michael-williams.com)—mo... lessons I’ve learned along the way.
What I will say is I’m glad print-on-demand publishing was not available when I was in my early twenties. Self-publishing almost makes it too easy to put one’s work out there, and I’ve seen plenty of examples of writers publishing before they were ready. I fear that I would have been among them; I know if I had published The Renegade Chronicles before 2016, they would have been an inferior product.
My advice to young writers is to wait until you’re prepared to treat your fiction as a business before considering self-publishing.
