I Published My First Book Completely Wrong (Here’s What I Learned)

Описание: Hey Hey y’all 👋🏾
Today I’m telling the FULL story of how I published my first book… and why I would never do it that way again.

From writing in a notebook during state testing to uploading a Google Docs file with a Canva cover straight to Amazon — this is the real indie author learning curve.

In this video I share:
• My very first publishing process in 2018
• The beginner mistakes almost every indie author makes
• Why branding & target audience matter
• Splitting into two pen names (YA vs Adult)
• Losing my entire social media following overnight
• Why email newsletters - social media
• Hiring an editor, cover designer & social manager
• My current publishing workflow
• What I’d do if I had to start from zero today

Whether you're a writer thinking about self-publishing or already in the trenches, this is the honest side of the journey.
