Hey there rebel!

I bet you’re following a lot of indie authors, a lot of author channels, and so on, and you know that they always hire professional editors, designers, etc.

And that’s beautiful! Making sure your book is the best quality is great.

However… a well-off youtuber can’t really recommend that to a broke mom of five who can barely make ends meet because that mom’s first book is not going to make any money, so what is she supposed to do? Take out a loan? Amidst a pandemic? I don’t think so…

She might as well forget about publishing then - the agents reject her, the self-publishing gurus reject her, she might as well let go of that dream.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Listen, I also have a ZERO BUDGET because I am saving up for rent and life things, so I don’t have any money for self-publishing either…

Hey there rebel!

Today’s video is going to ruffle some feathers…

I have noticed that in the writing community there’s 2 camps:

• people who insist that self-published books should be of high quality and that indie authors should spend thousands of dollars on this

• authors who improve as they go, so they would do it all themselves but later improve the quality when they have the budget

Can you guys guess which camp I’m in?

Hint: I used to be in one and then jumped to the other one this year…
