I know, it's been a while since I was here. I apologize for my absence. So much has been going on in my life. I don't want to air my laundry here, but know that it was serious enough to slow my stride. The good news is that I finished the manuscript and have gone through it repeatedly in several editing phases. I'm currently waiting on feedback from a handful of beta-readers. That will be my last step in editing before i begin my publishing phase. I still cannot decide if I want to go self or traditional. What do you think? Each has its pros and cons. I really would liek to go the self-publishing route, but how do I go about getting attention to it? Should I announce it all over Facebook/IG? I've never done this before. Should I host a release party? If anyone has any useful advice, please don't hesitate. I'm all ears... Well, technically eyes since its online.
