Recently someone told me they don't having writing goals. At the end of explaining what they do they said, "Write what you can when you can, and be proud of your efforts."
Today I share this with you so you can be proud of your efforts.

I'll say it over and over.
I do not believe in gate keeping.
I do not believe in pulling up the ladder.
I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next.
Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

About me:
I am a wonderful niece (if I do say so myself) to an English Professor who has published multiple books. A couple of weeks ago I sat down and realized we don’t have a set space for authors to gain knowledge. So, I set out to create one.

We all love to use Amazon! But the problem is they have locked down publishing for many. They have harmed the community. We want to help you know the do's and don'ts of publishing. Follow us and keep up with the changes in the community!

Going from proofreading to published has steps in the middle, many don't realize.
Have you had someone else proofread and edit?
Have you gone through the beta reader phase?
Have you soft launched with advanced readers?

A good marketing tip for authors and writers:
Practice introducing yourself! Find a hook that makes people ask questions.

One small known fact about publishing:
Even if you have an agent and a publishing house you still have to market yourself and your book. They help but they don't do everything!
