#WritersCoffeeClub 6: Self-pub or trad? How's it going?
Spent 6 months in the query trenches, sent out less than 35, got bored, went #indieauthor, haven't looked back!
I've published 2 YA Fantasy novels in 2 years, & a novelette as my newsletter reader magnet.
Between full time teaching & poor health, maintaining a blog, newsletter & getting books out has taken my all. I hope to start advertising & selling to any effect (I'm published wide, so no KU page reads) next year (when book 3's out).
