For Writers

As a writer going the self-published route, I believe the greatest asset for new or intermediate writers is to focus on developing great stories. Marketing and your platform are pretty important too, but it all boils down to what you can give readers.

I highly suggest any new writers check out the following:

Beta readers, professional editors, and writing classes are also good ideas no matter what stage of writing you are in. Personal feedback always helps.
