![]() ![]() ![]() Here are the lessons I learned along the way. He told me if I already had a cover (I did) and a good editor (I had found one through another author), I should just go for it and self publish. I asked a New York agent I know, who has been in the business for a long time, whether I should look for another publisher or go forward with my idea to self publish. It used to be the big publishers that had all the great resources. Having known several authors of 5-star novels who had been successfully self-publishing for some time, I wanted to see if I could self-publish, too. Face it, these days most authors have to do their own publicity.įor my new medieval romance, The Red Wolf’s Prize, a book I’d started after my first novel, Racing With The Wind, I decided to take a different path. Rather, it was the blogs I organized myself based upon the ones who catered to historical romance readers and cared about the “historical” part of my stories-the blogs that wanted substantive posts drawn from my research. ![]() In that process, however, I learned a few things: My writing benefited from a great editor I wanted to design my own covers working directly with a good cover artist and the best publicity was not the blog tour my publisher arranged, though that was nice. ![]() I was glad I chose that route as I was a newbie who needed to work with a team of professionals. My first novels, all Regency romances, were written under contract to a small ePublisher. ![]()
