Advice for Writers & Self-Publishers [Video]

I’ve interviewed over 150 different guests in the world of writing and self-publishing. I asked them all the same question: What advice do you have for aspiring authors and self-publishers? The advice wildly varies from one guest to the next since I leave the question open for interpretation. The best advice for writers and self-publishers comes from reps at major self-publishing companies, influencers on YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram, and even newly established indie authors. Pull up a seat, get your notepad ready, and learn from some of my best guests I’ve interviewed.
