Are you a lifelong learner? Continual learning is good for our brains!
Publishing with a hybrid publisher taught me a lot. ✍️Authors I know who have traditional publishers sacrifice control over how their book looks; how they’re marketed & positioned; & they give up a lot of control over the content they create. For example, if a traditional author decides they want an audiobook, they can’t go off & create one on their own—It goes through the publisher.
I spent months learning how to write a book. I didn’t know there was a process. Each week, besides writing, fellow authors spent hours in live workshops & met with editors & coaches. ️ It was harder than the math class I was required to take last summer, which nearly killed me.
In my weekly meeting with my editor, I told him NDP reminded me of the quote, “Give a man a fish, & you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, & you feed him for a lifetime.”
The authors in my cohort were empowered because we had the support to learn how to do everything. Our books perform better than the average first-time indie author. NDP showed us how to avoid the mistakes inexperienced authors make. NDP taught us to publish like a second-time author.
If you think you have a book in you, maybe consider checking out New Degree Press (or something like it). The winter cohort has begun, ❄️but maybe it’s something to think about for spring. Authors are international , & workshops & meetings are scheduled across 19 time zones. It’s amazing.
I’m not saying the experience was perfect, but it was perfect enough to get my book published & perform well!
This post is what marketers call “UGC,” or user-generated content. UGC is powerful because it’s unpaid, authentic & trustworthy. If your friends share products or services because they like them, it’s likely UGC. (I learned that at Bellevue College!)
Happy weekends to you all & thank you again for your support!
