My memoir, Dr. Beare's Daughter: Growing Up Adopted, Adored, and Afraid, was just awarded a finalist in the Next Generation INDIE Book Awards. #booksky #authorsky #memoir #writingsky #readingcommunity

Traditional publishers own the rights to a book. The author has no control over publishing and marketing decisions. I sold my first novel to Macmillan. It took me years to get my rights back. Now I've released it under my own imprint. #booksky #writersky #writingcommunity #youngadultnovel

I launched my own imprint and I self-publish because I want to write whatever my heart tells me to, own my own voice, and be brave. Writing and publishing my memoir is the bravest thing I have ever done. #writingcommunity #readingcommunity #booksky #writersky #memoir

Saying hello. I'm a self-published author and hope to find writer and reader friends here to share news and discuss self-publishing and the writing life. #writingcommunity #readingcommunity #selfpublishing #memoirwriting #booksky #writersky
