I can not afford to publish in the manner, the packages that those companies have for authors. So I did my research and found out about CreateSpace and KDP. I really decided to write my book because it was something that had been bothering me for a while to write it. It took the death of the most important people in my life, grandmother, father and mother that pushed me to write my first book. So I hope to do them proud with this book. I found it therapeutic to write since their deaths and I have done my homework of what all entails with writing a book. I pray that whomever reads my book finds it very inspirational, motivating and invigorating to know that there is life after all that they have been through. I pray that I become a best selling author from my autobiography....Coming To Loving Yourself. So be on the look out for it soon.Sharise Johnson-Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563411381898476490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208062043216838522.post-32612993587281550172016-10-19T09:28:28.481-07:002016-10-19T09:28:28.481-07:00Thank you for sharing, Thomas Wrightson, and good ...Thank you for sharing, Thomas Wrightson, and good luck in your future endeavours! =)authorapiperburgihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224848215180812189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208062043216838522.post-84166756662684860972016-10-19T07:01:12.447-07:002016-10-19T07:01:12.447-07:00I chose this route principally because I'm kee...I chose this route principally because I'm keeping my options open. Both the self-publishing and official markets are crowded, so either way it's a struggle for a new writer to get noticed. Even so, having complete control is a double edged sword.<br /><br />On the negative side, you have to be your own copyeditor and business manager and publicity agent, but that can also be part of your joy depending on your overall mood. On the positive side, you're the one in control: no-one at an agency tells you to write more of this or tone down that. I can write what I want, about what I want.<br /><br />In the end, I hope to find an agent or publisher who will help me break out into the larger market, but for the moment I'm pushing forward, learning, and improving.Thomas Wrightsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063177959602304640noreply@blogger.com
