Self-Publishing First Year
A realistic guide to what new authors earn, how many books to publish per year, how to fit writing around a job, and how to keep going without burning outBy Imad Muratspahic
Length3h 21m
About this audiobook
You have seen the posts: a debut author with a five-figure month, someone publishing four books a year, and a reply telling you to 'just write the next book'. Meanwhile your own dashboard shows a handful of sales and a full-time job that does not care about your word count. What is actually normal? Self-Publishing First Year is a calm, practical guide to the first twelve months of publishing on your own. It is not a get-rich playbook and it is not a marketing course. It sits beside books about building a mailing list, handling a suspended publishing account, or finding a traditional agent by answering a different question: what should a new author reasonably expect, and how do you set a pace you can keep? Inside, you'll learn: No hype, no guarantees, no shame about slow sales. Just a realistic year one and a plan you can live with.
