Episode Synopsis

I believe it’s possible to self-publish well and to the same quality and standard as traditional publishing. The landscape is changing. And I’m ready to take a different path.- Thanks to everyone for social media responses last week - that level of support helped calm the voice in my head that’s been yelling imposter etc - I had been feeling so nervous about publicly mentioning it (I had said in my newsletter) and the support specifically for the project - Why didn’t I sign with agent or go through with pub deal before (not to the standards/rigour I expect)- We sometimes sleepwalk into this industry and assume that one linear pathway is the only way - but it’s not and more are opening all the time. So it’s important to keep your eyes and options open. - Debunk some assumptions people make about  SP- Such as; taking easy option, lower quality, less developed, poorer quality editing and cover, people spamming and hard selling, SP means you have talent - Also SP is a poor name for the process because most people don’t do it entirely alone - it’s a collaborative effort and can even involve as many people as a traditionally published novel, often the same freelancers- Why those figures - 1000/100- First steps when thinking of SP
