In this episode of the Write the Damn Book Already podcast, I unveil my 6 predictions for 2024 in the world of self-publishing. I hope to continue to lend transparency to the self-publishing process and the growing opportunities available while helping you determine whether self-publishing is the right approach for your first (or next) book. 

As we tackle the nuances of self-publishing today, you'll learn about:

  • Assembling a team of professionals as a self-published author (it's critical and doable!) 
  • The still-circling myths (and truths) surrounding the self-publishing model
  • The ways bookstore distribution is shifting 
  • The new "desired" length for a debut novel 
  • The significance of branding in an author's career
  • The burgeoning role of AI in publishing 
  • The implications of having a strong and intentional marketing strategy in a newly AI-heavy landscape. 

With advice on maintaining visibility and the necessity for intentional outreach, this episode will inspire you to foster a community around your work, helping you stand out in a crowded market.
