Today, on the podcast, I talk about the highs and lows of my self-publishing career in 2021.
Some of my lows included:
- Dealing with my own career expectations and the reality,
- What it means to not be using a pen name,
- Feeling like I’m letting down some of my collaborators in royalty-share agreements…
Some of my highs included:
- Having the French version of #TheLeftoverBride reach the #9 on Apple Books Chart
- Having the French version of #TheLeftoverBride sit next to The Hating Game by Sally Thorne on the charts…
- Reading wonderful emails from readers around the globe
And more…
