What are the weaknesses of promotion for self-published authors?
That you have to look for sponsorship yourself and do all the talking yourself in case you don’t have an agent. So you would encourage or mentor someone who’s beginning to self-publish their book? Yeah absolutely. I would encourage anybody who has a goal or a dream. Either in the book publishing industry, music industry, or anybody with a different vision I would just encourage them to just do it! Do you see writing as a long or short-term career? I see it as long-term. I love writing. The writing experience for me starts with the conception of the story, then creating the characters and doing the research for the story. By doing the research I learn of things that I didn’t know about, which help me structure the story in a manner that the audience is not going to think that it’s unbelieveable or that it cannot happen. I love writing and you have to love it and have the passion to do it. Where does your inspiration come from? Hmmmm… The huge royalty check! No I’m kidding! I would say
