WHY SELF-PUBLISH? I'm not the kind of person who waits around for destiny to come to me. I reach out and take it. I've always been a really prolific writer, completing multiple books a year, and I knew most traditional publishing companies weren't going to be able to keep up with the speed at which I can produce a novel or a series. I have lots of ideas, and I want to get those ideas out there for people to enjoy, so I can move on to the next one. Why wait for someone else to give me a yes when I can give that acceptance to myself?
HAD YOU CONSIDERED TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING? It's not an either/or thing anymore. The most successful authors of the future are and will be hybrid—that is, they'll have both self-published titles and titles produced by traditional publishers. The divide between the two sides is dissipating as more authors realize there are benefits to being on both sides of the fence and having your brand in as many places as possible.

The Power of the Comma
If punctuation were a team, the comma would be the reliable all-rounder—always in the game, always doing the work. It doesn't demand attention like the exclamation point, nor does it carry the flair of the dash, but without it, writing would unravel into confusion. The comma is essential for structure, nuance, and meaning.
