Can anyone recommend a self-help book that describes the steps to get from “completed draft” to “published indie book”? I will be self-publishing. I know about beta readers and editing… it’s everything else that is nebulous. It’s time to learn!

I had a bad experience with a book and blogged about it:

Our #selfpub #book went viral. Like. The number of free ebooks downloaded off itch has 2 more zeros after it than my highest hopes, 3 more than I expected. I go between absolute shock and forgetting that this even happened to me and being surprised all over again.

Die Goodiebag-Vorbereitungen für die VÖ von #ProjektGeisterjäger laufen auf Hochtouren. Die Rückseite meiner Salzpäckchen kann ich euch leider noch nicht zeigen, denn da ist das Cover drauf. 👻

I asked this question over on Twitter, but I'm curious what mastodon creators have got for me...

I'm working on a queer cozy fantasy about a demon running a pub and honestly? I think it's going to be amazing. Actually, I know it's going to be amazing. So I want to help it succeed in ANY way I can. I'm making a list of ideas.

What's the best/craziest/most fun way you've seen a creator promote their work?

Beim Börsenblatt gibt es einen Artikel über die Zahlen des Buchmarktes 2022.

30 Days of #QueerBooks

Day 13: LOVE AND COMETS AND OTHER STORIES and HOMEWARD BOUND AND OTHER STORIES by Gillian Ybabez

Collections of #SelfPub #IndieAuthor flash fiction, ranging from sci-fi to fantasy to surreal to memoir vignettes, all creative and quirky and full of interesting ideas captured in a single moment. "Love and Comets" is more complete, but "Homeward Bound" is my favorite collection.

Ich hab mein Sommergetränk 2023 gefunden.
Gekühltes Sprudelwasser mit Minze & Zitrone.
Ich weiß, nicht besonders fancy & bin mal wieder #LateToTheParty, aber ich find's toll. 😜

Und perfekt für den Schreiballtag, weil es einem nicht das Hirn verdreht. 😂

Wichtige Neuigkeit für das #Selfpublishing:
#BoD wird in Zukunft bei kaum veränderten Leistungen deutlich teurer. Damit gewinnt die Veröffentlichung über #TolinoMedia noch mal deutlich an Attraktivität.

Er der nogen herinde som har en mening om hvorvidt det er okay at udlevere sit CPR-nr til en amerikansk forlægger af skattemæssige årsager?

Der Sohn hat mir gestern beim Brainstormen für den Titel von #ProjektGeisterjäger geholfen.

Es ist so toll, wie viel er nach meiner Schreiberei fragt. Und über die Bücher kann ich ihm allmählich auch ein klitzekleines Bisschen mehr verraten. 😍🖤

So I am trying something new this summer. Specifically, I reserved a table as a vendor at a local #scifi #convention to promote my own book. I don't know a lot of #smallpress #authors who have done this, but if any of you are out there, how did it go for you? Any tips for me? #selfpub authors?
