@Sharon Foster Totally understandable, Sharon Foster. After spending that much time on formatting, wanting the print proof to look perfect makes sense. Starting with Kindle first is a smart move too, it helps catch any small layout issues before the print version goes live. You’re definitely close now. If you ever want a second pair of eyes on the formatting or layout, feel free to reach out.” I have a marketing expert that help me out on it, on where to publish it where and some marketing strategies tho

@Amanda Molloy Honestly Amanda, that’s a really smart way to approach it. Breaking things into time blocks like that makes the whole process feel a lot more manageable instead of trying to tackle everything at once. I also like that you’re balancing the three big areas at the same time writing the book, building the audience, and staying visible. A lot of people focus only on finishing the manuscript and then realize later they don’t have readers yet. One thing I’m interested in though: have you noticed which of those activities is actually moving the needle the most for you right now? The writing itself, the newsletter/blog, or the social engagement? And actually I do have a marketing expert that help me with mine if you dont contact him so he could help you
