You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.

Speaking of not Amazon, did you know that on Bookshop.org you can make wishlists and even connect your account to an independent bookstore (my personal fave is One More Page Books in Arlington, VA) that will get money even if the book you buy doesn't come from them?
