omg this is so exciting! Thank you so much for sharing all the insights of self-publishing. I just returned to my book, starting from scratch this week. Looking at so many writing programs makes me curious how on earth I'm ever going to birth this book in to existence and if I ever want to send proposals to publishers or look for an agent or simply self-publish it all myself. I'm still leaning towards self-publishing and following your journey shows me it's totally possible to do. Thank you thank you thank for sharing ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You're so welcome! It can be overwhelming to wade through all the resources and various opinions! I definitely started out wanting to be traditionally published, and I'm glad I gave that a chance! But after querying for two years, I realized I ultimately just wanted to share this book with the world, both because I've been working on it for so long, and also because I'm ready to move on to other projects, haha!
Learning the ins and outs of self-publishing has been really empowering in a way I wasn't expecting. I'm SO GLAD I didn't give up on this book and I'm getting to midwife it into the world on my own terms. It feels really tender and special.
Thank you for reading and sharing about your writing journey, too! Grateful we can cheer each other on! 🦋

Can you share your cover designer? This is stunning!
Thank you, Sarah! I'm happy with how it turned out! And I guess I should have shown the other cover design too, also good!
