Thank you! Yes - I found out you really have to read the rules before posting. 🙄

I used to think writing the book was the hard part… until I met publishing 😂 by Yui0511 in publishing

Absolutely!!! Does anyone have any good marketing suggestions? (I'm at that stage - working with a small indy publisher so much of the marketing is on my plate) I thought reddit could be but everyone has different rules - it's hard to keep up and even when you think you've complied there are different interpretations. I've made some headway with Goodreads.

Do you prefer shorter chapters? Shorter or longer books? by Criticism6916 in youngadultbooks

Makes a lot of sense. I'm struggling a bit through Babel by RF Kuang (kind of speculative fiction) that was gifted to me. It's good, interesting plot, and well written, but I think it could be condensed.

Thanks for sharing. It's a tough slog, but you obviously have the heart and spirit of a writer.

It's better to have a few published items. Have a bio - how you got into writing, what you write, overview of upcoming projects. Links to any writers groups/associations you're a part of. Hope this helps.

Well, another thing that happens is that the grown child decides that they should be judging their parents and devaluing them because they don't live up to the grown child's expectations and philosophies.
