31 Days to Self-Publishing a Book
If you’re a writer like me (yes that was weird to say but I’m trying to own it), I bet you appreciate readers. I know I do! I love my readers. And whether you have 5 or 5,000 readers, they deserve your best work. The best way to produce your best work is to write your little heart out, edit, and rewrite as often as you can. That’s what my last 31 Days project was all about creating creative content.
This year I’m going to explore one option to get our content into the hands of readers – self-publishing.
Catch me linking up with The Nester and loads of other bloggers at Write31Days.com.
In 31 Days to Self-Publishing a Book I’m using myself as a bit of a guinea pig. You see, I wrote this book (another weird thing to say) that I want to share with my readers. Self-publishing has piqued my interest in recent months as a viable way to put work on the market. I want to learn about how self-publishing works and how writers, like you and I, can self-publish well.
In my life I tend to jump first and think later. It’s just how I roll. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. And I’ve found that jumping-then-thinking isn’t so reckless when done with accountability. In that caviler spirit, I’m going to take the plunge into self-publishing and invite you to watch me learn. Hopefully my experience will give you an idea of what works, what doesn’t, and how you might present your next book to your readers.
Truly, I’m honored you are following along!

I’m so glad you’re doing this! I am very interested in learning more about the process.
Thanks Heather! Hope to give some great information 🙂 A bit nervous about the writing everyday thing!
Yes and Yes! Can’t wait to follow along, Victoria! We’ll be following in your footsteps soon, although we’re not nearly talented enough to write a novel!
Hope it helps! I think *anyone* who writes, fiction or nonfiction, is talented!
