Anyone who treats any career path as easy is just plain uninformed. Building an audience in the self-pub arena is freaking HARD.
"Just self-publish" is not an "easy" solution.
Self-publishing is hard. It requires way more time than I have. For me, the agent and trad/small press model works great.
But again, it ain't one size fits all, folks. You need to find what works for you.

There's a bit of a noir tinge to this as well, which I like in this setting even if I'm not a fan of traditional noir. This is like Slab City Blues meets Mad Max 1&2 if I had to give a comp.

I keep seeing people on Twitter slam Bsky and how there’s no one here and I’ve got to say, that hasn’t been my experience at all. Like I actually get traction on book posts here and so it’s lovely to see ✨ almost 20K ✨ fans of indie books here! Look at our little community finding each other 🥺🤍💪

I self-published my first book in February 2017. This streak, my first, took me eight years to achieve. 🥺💖
If you want to help me get to the full year (which will be Friday!), now is the perfect week to buy one of my books or short stories! ✨
