I decided to start self-publishing in 2018, and I'm pretty happy with how it's gone so far! In 2018, I sold 3364 books and made a few Best of 2018 lists, like this one. I sold much better than I did with small presses. More details in my self-publishing thread here, but I thought I'd post to Goals and Accomplishments as well. I didn't make tons of money, but I achieved my goal of not losing money :)

My previous experiences with publishing had left me feeling discouraged and helpless. Although self-publishing is stressful, etc, I like being in control and writing whatever I like, so I'm going to keep doing this for now.

Here are all my pretty covers!

Not here, but there
That's a great accomplishment! I know I wouldn't be able to do something that stressful. Hope you have continued success!
