I think the biggest thing I learned, or rather, reaffirmed, is that as an author I need to stretch and write what I feel compelled to write, not just what I believe will sell the best.

IndieView with Rob Rowntree, author of Unbound Brothers

First of all, don’t be afraid. Sure, it’s almost like the Wild West out there, but if you take the time to do your research, it becomes a lot less scary. Secondly, do your research! You can’t just upload an ebook and expect it to sell.

Stories of Hope

IndieView with Elsie Ijorogu-Reed, author of Love Me Mama: The Unfavored Child

IndieView with Michael Thal, author of Goodbye Tchaikovsky

Goodbye Tchaikovsky

 

I retired from teaching in 2001 due to a severe hearing loss. I just couldn’t understand my students any more. As my writing career developed I became curious what my life would have been like if I became deaf as a teen rather than as a 44 year old man.
