Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIt's a Bruin reunion! This week we welcome fellow Smart Girl and self-published author, Melanie Ho, as we discuss the hidden curriculum of self-publishing. We get into the nuts and bolts: hiring a developmental editor who protects your voice, finding seasoned designers and copy editors on Reedsy, and using IngramSpark’s print-on-demand to skip boxes-in-the-garage risk while keeping control of pricing and distribution.If you’ve wondered whether a big publisher is the only path, or how to turn your story into a sustainable creative business, this conversation is your candid field guide. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s “between seasons,” and leave a review with the one value that’s guiding your next move.Go here for the Smart Girl experience: https://www.smartgirlbook.com/
