Publishing a book requires long-term strategy, patience, and flexibility, not magic bullets or gimmicky shortcuts. The long game is the shortcut when it comes to building a sustainable author career.
In this episode, I answer some of the questions that have come my way recently via email and Instagram DMs, including:
✅ Why does one's writing perspective often evolves from third-person past to first-person present as authors become more emotionally connected to their material
✅ How to "suss out" unsolicited offers to review your book for payment
✅ How many reviews you should accumulate on Amazon before you begin investing in Amazon advertising
✅ The best way to accumulate reviews (everything, everywhere, all at once is NOT a good strategy!)
✅ How to best use the Universal Book Link to direct readers to the appropriate Amazon store based on their location
✅ When and how to use Advanced Review Copies (ARCs) as an indie author
