In this segment of "Time We Discuss" I look at what it's like to be a Self-Published Author. We discuss how a person can get started writing and what they need to take their creative project from initial concept to print.
We talk about what kinds of resources are available for an aspiring author. We talk about finding an editor, publishing, and self-publishing with Amazon. We also talk about what kinds of obstacles may get in the way, and that the idea of inspiration coming from literally anywhere.
After watching this video, you should have a general idea of what career paths are available for a Self-Published Author and whether or not this could be a good career choice for you.
