What I learned from self-publishing 40 books!
Today I'm sharing some key things I learned while self-publishing 40 romance books. I published my first book in 2014 and the industry has changed a lot since then. It still shocks me to see how far this industry has come. I hope these tips help you on your self-publishing journey! Don't forget to leave me a comment below and like if you haven't already! Thank you so much for being part of my little community here on YouTube. I appreciate you all so much!

//ON ME//

Pen names: Lyra Parish and Kennedy Fox (we're an author duo!)

I've been in the indie scene since 2011. I published my first romance novel in 2014 (Weak for Him). Under Kennedy Fox, we have made USA Today 4 times since 2017. With Lyra Parish, I have made the top 100 on Amazon several times. I unpublished my Lyra Parish backlist in 2020 with no regrets. You can watch this video here: https://bit.ly/3k8P6pa
