Review/ My thoughts

I found this self help book on marketing and how to publish your first book to be insightful. As a new writer myself I try to take in as much new information about publishing and marketing as I can.

In this book the author shares the two ways to publish traditionally or self published. The author goes over all details of both including pros and cons. Actually not really cons it’s more so about what bests fits you on a personal level. Both paths to publishing are great in my opinion and I’ve been weighing my options on both. I think I have finally chosen the path I want to take with my first book. But reading this gave me more information on the step by step and looking into the work (on both paths of publishing) it takes to get your work out there to other readers.

Reading this also gave me more thoughts on if I just want to publish for people who are close and dear to me or if I want to publish for every reader who is interested in my work and genre.

I learned a lot from this self help book, it’s definitely a book to keep by and take notes on while I’m getting my work started with publishing.

I recommend this to all writers who are thinking about publishing and don’t know where to start and what to know about the work it takes in both traditionally and self published paths.
