What are you doing to market your book?
As of right now, Facebook is my biggest way to reach people. I donate copies to libraries around my town and write my essay for local newspapers. How have sales been? Where have you had the most success? Sales have been steady. I have had the most success with the iPad and Kindle. How are readers/reviewers reacting to your book? So far, I have only received positive feedback, all of the reviews on Barnes and Noble and Amazon have been 5 star and very positive. I have already started on my second book, and have already received submissions so I must be doing something right! What was the biggest challenge you faced writing this book and how did you overcome it? The biggest challenge was that I took on such a big project and it seemed like it was never going to end. It was easy not to lose sight of why I was doing it- I am doing this to help others. However, it was hard to stay focused. I had a lot of help from people around me…some who sat with me editing for hours on end. I was very fortunate to be surrounded by such supportive people. What are the future plans for you and this book? I am hoping to go into high schools and colleges and share my experience of single parenthood and the amazing journey I have been on with this project. I have been lucky enough to be let into these peoples’ lives. It has been an incredible experience that I would love to share with others. Any advice for other writers/indie authors out there? I would say just not to give up. When I was younger, as young as 5, I knew I wanted to publish a book someday. It is still so surreal to me when I see it on the shelf at the bookstore. I know there are days…weeks…months…where it feels like you will never see that day but if you believe in yourself and you know what you are capable of you will be holding your book in no time!
