This is incredibly useful information. Thank you so much for sharing it. Like Erin, I've been publishing for over a decade, but seeing this all broken down into a timeline and what to expect when -- it's absolutely invaluable. I will definitely be returning to this post.
"You are probably too young to remember this/know this…This is ageism. Please don’t do it." — I totally agree! I've been thinking that exactly, but haven't seen it said before.
I'm 48 and find myself surrounded by almost all younger people for the first time in my life. But I remember how it felt when I was younger as an always-outnumbered Gen X'er in a boomer world. So I'm mindful of not being dismissive of young people, and definitely find that learning goes both ways!
I'm almost in tears. It's like your reading my 25+ year publicist's mind!
I’m a book editor for self-publishing authors. This is gold! And you gave me some laughs along the way too. Thanks for keeping it real.
This was fabulous and super practical!
Well-said. Bravo.
Thank you!
