I just finished a radio interview on Cable Radio Network - http://www.crntalk.com/

Today, I'm posting the next question in:
Is Self-Publishing Right For You?

Do you have the time?
Self-publishing is time consuming.  You, the author, will be the one editing or arranging for your book to be edited.  The self-published author makes all the decisions - from the cover art and design to the page-layout and type-style.  There's much to consider and decide, and that's before you start the marketing process.  It's thrilling, but it also require your full attention.  There's plenty of information on-line too, but as with all projects, it's up to you to devote the effort, and of course that can take a fair amount of time.

Is Self-Publishing Right For You?

The first of 6 questions to ask yourself:

Are you passionate about your book?
Self-publishing requires a commitment, a commitment between you and your book.  You need to believe in it and be able to communicate that passion, especially during the marketing process.  Your passion is the force that will keep you going when things get tough. 

Regarding my own book, I decided I to take things into my own hands.  It was important to me to believe in Holly Heights, and do everything I could to support that belief.  It's not easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is.

So far I've had some wonderful experiences talking to people both at home and around the country.  It's fueled my passion for more.
