I published my own book and you can, too. The week of Monday, 8/24, through Sunday, 8/30, I’ll share a bare bones description of my experiences with self-publishing, touching on its good and not-so-good aspects. I could expand much more on the subject, but it would take up too much space. Someday, I might write a book about it. (G)
If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask; or, if you’ve already self-published, your comments and/or suggestions are welcome.
I’ll get right on with the first post after the schedule. I’ll keep them separate, in case anyone wants to print out the list.

Hi Morgan!
ReplyDeleteI'm a boorish oaf, so I'm going to ask the obvious question - is self-publishing financially viable?
As far as profits,that remains to be seen, Anton!
ReplyDeleteKiller Career's release date was August 15. It's too early to tell how many books I will sell.
I do know the startup costs have gone down considerably and are not a major obstacle.
