Thanks for this post. I find myself in the crossroads and sometimes I still want the trad and other times I just want to self-pub and go wide. Right now, just focusing on increasing my substack and gaining a following for my stories.
Thanks John - I'd love to hear more about your attempts to crossover with Royal Road. Like how many people are reading the stories on Royal Road and do you think it has been worth your time to cross post your stories to Substack and Royal Road? Is the juice worth the squeeze? How have your experience been with selling your books on the Amazon platform versus direct? Have you looked into or thought about Kindle Vella? Thanks again and have a great 2024!
Interesting, I guess I never realized how much goes into self publishing. I knew you would get to keep more $ by doing it all yourself, but your're still doing alot of the work the publisher would be doing! Is it still posible to find a literary agent by going to writers conventions or somthing or the like? Do you have any regrets going the self publishing route?
Thank you and keep writing.
