Finding Your Path to Publishing

By Beth Revis, @bethrevis

Part of the How They Do It Series

Just as there is no right way to write, there is no right way to publish. Every writer takes a slightly different path, with pros and con on each of them. To help us figure out the right path for us, bestselling author Beth Revis visits the lecture hall today with a fun publishing path diagnostic.  

Beth is the New York Times bestselling author of the Across the Universe trilogy, as well as The Body Electric, Paper Hearts, and the forthcoming A World Without You. She lives in the Appalachian mountains with her boys: one husband, one son, and two very large dogs.

Indie Publishing Paths: Do You Know Your Goals?

By Jami Gold, @JamiGold

Part of the Indie Authors Series

One great thing about the indie author community is the willingness to help each other out. A quick search on the KBoards Writers’ Cafe forum can often provide information from those in the trenches who are ahead of us on the indie publishing journey. Everywhere we look, authors share the pros and cons of methods they’ve tried and “what not to do” advice.

So it’s no surprise that many new indie authors choose “virtual” mentors. We can watch what successful authors are doing and try to emulate them.

That’s a great technique, and one I’ve followed as well. However, we need to keep in mind that there’s no one right path to success. Many indie authors are successful, and they didn’t all do the same things as far as pricing, release schedules, choosing vendors, etc.
