A new venture
Since losing my online job in February, Don and I have had endless discussions about new ways to earn income. One of the things we wanted to do for some time was to self-publish a variety of things we’ve written over the years (including Don’s collection of country humor stories).
But oddly, I also have a number of (clean) romance novels that remain unpublished. One in particular, titled “Rachel’s Folly,” remains my favorite unpublished manuscript. It’s too long (74,000 words) for Harlequin’s Love Inspired line, and too outside-the-box for Harlequin’s Heartwarming line. So, with my agent’s blessing, I’m going to go “indie” on this one and publish it myself.
Don started watching YouTube videos detailing how to self-publish books using Amazon, and it just spiraled out of control in terms of complexity. Between our daily workload and projects we’re tackling, he just didn’t have the bandwidth to learn something so completely unfamiliar to both of us.
So we connected with a woman named Jessie Denning, who used to be the managing editor at Backwoods Home Magazine before splitting off to start her own business. She quoted us a reasonable price for formatting and uploading the manuscript to Amazon. Don and I will try our hands at designing the cover art.
The mechanics of getting the book into print (especially since most of the heavy lifting will be done by Jessie) is the easy part. The difficult part is marketing. And that’s where I’d like to pick the brains of you, dead readers.
Keeping in mind my limited experience with social media, what are your recommendations for how best to market an indie book? I’m all ears!
