Writing for life

As we near the end of this mammoth self publishing blog series, here are a handful of useful pointers to summarise what we've been covering over the last few months:

  • The online publishing world is changing daily

  • There is no secret (and easy) formula to success

  • In my humble opinion, Amazon is the best place to start your self publishing journey despite its quirks

  • Write a fabulous first book

  • Then write many, many more great books

  • With self publishing, your writing really can be tailored more to what you actually want to write, rather than writing for markets and trends

  • You will never just be able to write - the time and effort you used to spend sending out zillions of query letters and first chapters to agents and publishers has been replaced by marketing and promotional activity

  • In my humble opinion, Twitter is the best place to start building your fanbase

  • Take the time to engage and connect with your audience
