Thanks for the advice and I will seriously consider it.
And when I said not having the time and money for the stuff you mentioned, I didn’t mean that I don’t have time to write, which I do have some for. I meant more that I may not have the pedigrees and bells and whistles that more experienced self publishers have.
But thanks, and I will con…[Read more]

If you really want to put “better Christian fiction” in the hands of readers (which is an admirable goal!), you want to make sure that it’s actually as good as you can make it. The many rounds of editing and the feedback, at least, are non-negotiable. And there’s nothing wrong with waiting to publish until you can do it well. Your…[Read more]

Ok thanks guys.
The advice was great but guys, as I’m finishing up my freshman year in high school, in the middle of a move, and will soon be tied up in football, I have neither the time nor the money to do all that, with a team, and the other stuff. While I don’t want this to be rushed, I wrote this book so that there would be better Chr…[Read more]

Basically ditto what @r-m-archer said. Her advice is spot on and I don’t really have anything to add. 🙂

Okie doke. There’s a lot to unpack here.
First, don’t treat self-publishing like a fast-track. Self-publishing, when done with care and invested in properly, can take a long time.

Sorry, i should have specified. At least what i’ve read is that teenage writers have those odds, just cause they dont have as much experience or talent.

@crazywriter I myself have been a part of his forum and other communities long enough to know that the chances to become a traditionally published author are not that at all.
But even I have questions concerning marketing and such. -

Hello all. I am new to this group, and i need some tips and advice. I am almost done with my first novel. I have about 60-65k words at the moment, and plan to get about 15-20k more, but now approaches the hardest and most complicated part for me. Self marketing, and publicizing my book.
First off, i know my chances of being published by an actual…[Read more]

Hello! I’ve been writing some poems and it’s my first time to share some of them. Here’s one that I’d love to share. This is my first time and attempt to write a sonnet and I hope I can learn and improve in the future. 🙂

As his trembling soul could not recover
He dreamt about…[Read more]
