I learned SO much on my first experience self publishing through KDP a year ago. Biggest lesson? When writing a book, do both KDP AND IngramSpark so your work can be published in more places than Amazon. I wrote a whole blog post about it ☺️ And now you have me thinking about making a journal for my next book 😂

This is so super handy. I’ve wondered for a while about self publishing something but has just seemed so daunting. Thank you for making it all seem a little more possible.

Thank you for breaking this down! I've been contemplating self publishing a poetry chapbook as a way to figure it all out dropping a memoir, everything you shared is so helpful!

I love your journal style too ♥️♥️

Congrats on publishing your work!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
