As I have said before, traditional publishing has changed, excluding the “talented nobodies”, AKA gifted/skilled/educated writers who are not already famous.

I’m doing it again. I am taking a post on my Facebook feed to my blog, mainly because I’m not willing to risk going back to FB Jail for what I am about to say.

Amazon is the #1 bookseller in the country for a reason. They made it very easy for meContinue reading “KDP vs. B&N”

It does not happen as often as I would like, but when it does, I acknowledge it.

Backlash makes Sharon a liability, and liabilities get fired. “ Ms. Chantal, “Sharon vs. Sheryl: a RudeContinue reading “I Said It…And It Came To Pass!”

I thought that it would be easy, because no one ever told me the details involved. I thought that I could just upload my manuscript, design a cover, and keep it moving. Editing and proofreading was not the problem. I have an English degree. Cake. NO ONE told me that there was a step calledContinue reading “Self-Publishing.”
