As someone who's been self-publishing for years, I couldn’t agree more with this!

Self-publishing often gets viewed as the "shortcut," but it’s anything but that.

It’s more like becoming the CEO of your book, juggling everything from editing to marketing.

The sense of ownership and control over your work is empowering, but it can be overwhelming too.

Having a supportive network, like the one you mentioned, can make all the difference.

Thanks for sharing your journey, it’s inspiring to see your persistence!
