@gwalkerauthor Congrats!!

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@AuthorTRobare I get how you feel, but rejections don’t mean you’re not a good writer. Your story still matters, and readers will connect with it. What do you enjoy most about having full control through self-publishing?

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@AuthorTRobare Haha, that’s hilarious! 😂 But honestly, that reaction just shows how exciting and special the moment was. If you don’t mind me asking, why self-publishing? Most authors usually prefer traditional publishing.

@EricWritesGood I get what you mean, the writing community really used to feel more supportive and fun. It’s a little sad seeing how much things have changed.

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@JWenner_Author That looks really nice!

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

Does anyone else love a good prologue?

@carolinestowe_ You are welcome! What part of the upcoming release are you most looking forward to, seeing your book in readers’ hands, reviews coming in, or maybe your launch day?

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@Mithrandr71 I love that! Getting that first author copy must have felt so real, like a dream come true. Have you kept it somewhere special as a reminder of your journey?

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@Mithrandr71 Congrats on your debut book release! How does it feel to be a published author?

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@DawnRossAuthor Doing both really gives you the best of both worlds. I also noticed you’ve got a good number of amazing reviews on Amazon, which marketing strategy did you use to achieve that?

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@DawnRossAuthor Are you currently working on any works in progress (WIPs)?

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@DawnRossAuthor That’s great! Selling online really helps you reach more readers from different places. Do you also have plans to try out events or book fairs in the future, or do you prefer sticking mainly to online sales?

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@DawnRossAuthor That’s wonderful! It must feel so rewarding to see people buy and enjoy the books you’ve worked hard on. Nothing beats that direct connection with readers. Do you usually sell more online or in person at events?

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@DawnRossAuthor That makes a lot of sense. Self-publishing really does give you more control over your books and how you share them with readers. It’s great that you know what works best for you. What part of the self-publishing process do you enjoy the most so far?

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@Mithrandr71 I can imagine how great it must feel to finally hold your work in your hands. What was the most exciting part of the whole publishing journey for you?

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@DawnRossAuthor Having it outlined and already more than halfway written puts you in a great spot. It really sounds like you’re moving forward with this one. If you don’t mind me asking, why self-publishing? Most authors usually prefer traditional publishing.

[Dave Empire @Hes_GotGame]

@DaSilvawrites Wow, that shows a lot of patience and determination 12 years is no small thing. Spending 8 years on a novel that didn’t fit the market must have been tough, but it also shows how committed you are to your craft. I’m sure you’ll get there.
