There’s a lot that goes into the making of a book.
Along with the daydreaming, drafting, editing, drafting, editing, revising, validating research and permissions, seeking and sending to proofreaders and beta readers…
… there’s also hiring story and copy editors, working with cover designers and photographers, and all of the marketing — from email lists to social media, writing short tease pieces, putting together playlists, etc.
It’s my favorite thing in the world! But it can be tough to do on your own, and every bit of support is deeply appreciated.
