You decide what to write and when to publish. (Think Taylor Swift and her re-recordings.) Be fearless, be responsive. Another lesson I learned is control your marketing and expand beyond books if you want. For instance, my Summer Beach series, beginning with “Seabreeze Inn,” was planned as a trilogy.
No overprinting, reducing excess waste. Less storage and shipping, cutting down on emissions. Lower energy consumption, since each copy is made-to-order. Minimal pulping and landfill impact, thanks to just-in-time printing. It’s a leaner, more sustainable model—and it gives authors the flexibility to publish without harming the planet. Win-win!
If you’re looking to publish your own book for the first time, it can be overwhelming. However, with the right resources and tips, self-publishing a book can be relatively stress-free and affordable.
Your genuine passion for the topic will attract like-minded individuals and by the time you’re ready to publish, odds are some of your regular readers will be intrigued enough to go out and support your work.
