Plan For Publication As You Go
Writing is easy — publishing by yourself is like following an overgrown, potholed jungle path in the middle of a monsoon!
- Timing is key! Start planning for publication as you write.
- What’s in a name? Research your name and potential title early so readers will find you.
- Understand your genre — and “a romantic semi-historical science-fiction adventure mystery thriller” is NOT a good description!
- Who are you writing for? You can’t market without understanding your target.
- The writing community is your best resource — take advantage of it!
