Thank you Jeanine! And congrats on writing your first book... that is such an accomplishment! I love hearing stories about new authors and what the publishing process was like. So, I have 1 paid subscriber, and she is a friend of mine, LOL. I just turned it on just to have it there. I was told by many Substackers, why wait? But my strategy for paid subscribers isn't there, and I know other folks who have a decent amount have an actual strategy for what they offer to their paid audience.

Thanks so much for the reference, Claire, and the info. I've published all 4 of my books, 2 non-fiction, 2 fiction, through indie publishing and am completely satisfied the way all turned out. If you go that route, do not skimp on cover art or an editor. Two very important aspects of your book's success, imho. I hear you regarding being fully prepared for going paid, and I will for sure look at Amanda Hinton's editing spectrum today. Much appreciated!
That is very impressive. Kudos to you! You're not the first to say not to skimp on a good graphic designer and an editor! You're very welcome, I'm pretty sure you will find Amanda's work to be helpful!
