Greetings from a newbie!

Hello everyone!

I am currently on my first publishing adventure and am in the holy-crow-I-didn't-know-about-that phase. My current goal is to learn the ins and outs of self-publishing as I wrap up edits on my first novel and work on the second. To say there is a huge learning curve in all of this is a vast understatement! Hardships aside, I am so excited to be at this point in my life and take the ups and downs as part of my adventure.

I look forward to learning from all of you!

Hi! Glad to connect with you. My book is SciFi dystopian and I’m just wrapping up my KS campaign. While I don’t foresee a contract, it’s been a serious learning experience and has enabled me to connect with an audience. Best of luck on your book and reach out anytime!

hi kristin

as a fiction writer im strickly looking for an agent, but i did self publish my nonfiction with amazon,
its frustrating, i just found out that they advertise it in the wrong catagorie, which probably explains why i dont get to many
people buying it.
in a day ot two ill call there support and ask if i can recommend which types of books to put my add in for.

soy ou never said your genres for your book, and congrats on having it done
make your fifty posts and get some beta readers to critique

best wishes christoph
