#words for writers

Lots of talk happening on Social Media lately about Trade Pub vs. Indie Pub vs. Selfpub (not that one is better than the other, just the advantages or disadvantages of whichever route you pick.)

So, I thought I'd share this again.

This is how a book goes from a manuscript to a published product, regardless of which type of publishing you do.

Note that if you have an agent or publisher, everything from "Submissions" downward, you will have support teams for (editors, proofreaders, marketing teams). Unless it's Indie/Small Press, in which case, much like querying, the submissions process is on you.

But if you selfpub, you have to do that all on your own (unless, like me, you hire cover artists, proofreaders, typesetters, etc.)

I've got some more information about Pitch Packages for Query/Submissions here, and lots more articles about the business and craft of writing here.

Date someone who naturally brings out your inner child, makes you laugh, never stops flirting with you, and loves you a little extra on the days you don't feel so loveable.

I confuse people. i have a happy personality and a sad soul. i'm bold but shy. i love deeply but sometimes i feel heartless. i'm healing and hurting at the same time. i'm dedicated to growth, but i self sabotage

WORLDBUILDING THROUGH CULTURE

Worldbuilding is more than just maps! Creating a believable secondary world, with consistent internal logic, idioms, taboos, and politics can be tricky. Luckily, this workbook is here to help you devise the best possible setting for your story! Filled with thought exercises, explanations, question lists, and lots of space to jot down your own ideas, these pages will soon hold the shape of your own worlds.
