Oh, you self-published? I get this question a lot, usually accompanying that face. The face that says: “You couldn’t get a publisher to take your book.” And annoyingly, I always feel the need to explain myself, as if self-publishing is a lesser option. Well, I’m here to tell you: Self-publishing is NOT a back-up plan! Self-publishing is a valid option. Self-publishing is a good business decision. Self-publishing is a choice to keep your story in your control.

Hello lovely readers!           I haven’t written a book update in a while, so here we go! Currently, I am in the (what feels like) never-ending editing process.           I have printed copy of my book for a paper edit, which has been overly exciting! Firstly, to actually hold my book is an amazing feeling! And secondly, because I love stationery so there are tabs, Post-its, and highlighting everywhere! I much prefer editing on paper, but this is a rare treat because of the length of the book and my desire to save trees.
