Yay awesome!! Thanks so much

Ah it seems your genre and topic are out of my area of knowledge, so best of luck on your writing journey!

Thank you! Wow that stinks about the review issue. Have you tried getting ARC readers? That’s where most of my current reviews came from

Thank you! Yeah I learned that trad is just about the right book, right time, right fit! It didn’t mean my book was bad, it meant agents didn’t think there was a current space for it. And that’s okay! So that’s why I pursued self pub on my own, because I already knew people wanted to read it 😊

Thanks! I hope it’s motivating ☺️

Thanks! My cover artist did a phenomenal job

I totally get that! You can also find it on Barnes and Noble, Walmart, or bookshop.org website currently

Thanks so much!!! Yes I hired an amazing cover artist @ david_gardias_designs on Instagram

Thanks! Most of the 42 reviews are actually from ARC readers :)

Just thinking about the 150 rejections I got from querying and now my self pub book has been out for 7 days and I sold 50 copies and I have 4.2 out of 5 stars on Goodreads from 42 reviewers and people are begging for book 2. I’m SO glad I self published 😌 #writingcommunity

Well, it’s official! My querying journey has ended. I decided to withdraw all my manuscript submissions to pursue self publishing instead. I am grateful for all the helpful feedback I received from agents. My manuscript wouldn’t be what it is today without it! Now onto my next adventure #selfpub

I decided I’m going to wait until December to hear back from the agents who have my manuscript. If I don’t hear anything by then, I’m going to withdraw and do self pub! That was actually my original plan before an editor told me to try traditional pub! #writersky #amquerying #writingcommunity

Hi! It’s been a while. I’m in the querying spot of waiting to hear back from agents who have my manuscript, so not much happening on my end! I reached my querying limit, so once I hear back from these agents, I’ll be deciding my next steps. Thanks all for the support 💜 #writersky #amquerying

Hey #writingcommunity! I know I haven’t been posting much but we just moved into our new house! We’ve been so busy unpacking and such. Now that it’s settling down, I hope to send out another batch of queries soon while also waiting to hear back from my manuscript requests 😁🤞🏻 #querying
