Who knew it would be so much hard work to become an author?! I thought the hard part would be writing the books (it's not easy.) Now I am ready to take the next step and let others read my work, but I don't know how to get it to them. I was planning on publishing through iBooks, but I'm not sure that I want to only publish through them, as not everyone has a device that supports iBooks. Next I googled some of the better known e-publishers (Smashwords and BookBaby) and found mixed reviews. Next I looked at Kindle and Nook publishers....my head is spinning! I feel like I am spending so much time investigating the publishing process that I am not dedicating enough time to improve my writing. My fear was that I would publish and no one would read it or they would make fun of it. I now have new fears -1.)I will never actually publish, 2.)I will publish using the wrong platform and no one will ever read it. Why don't I just happen to know a world renowned publisher who happened to fall in love with my work. I guess that would be too easy. So, for tonight this is all I will write, I need to get busy finding a publisher.
