A conversation with Lauren Sapala, part 2 (self-publishing)
Description
In today's diary entry, I speak again with my friend Lauren Sapala, a writer and writing coach: https://laurensapala.com
The loose theme for our conversation was "the joys of self-publishing". In particular, we talked about things like:
- the tips + lessons learned from publishing our books the indie way
- how silent-writing and self-publishing have changed Lauren’s world as a writer
- why Lauren chose to self-publish, after years of querying
- the realities of self-publishing vs traditional publishing
- my experience as an intern in a big publishing house
- Lauren’s experience working in a social media startup for famous authors and spending time in San Francisco’s literary scene
- the power and freedom that comes with self-publishing and the creator economy
- why Lauren edits her own books, and whether you should do your own editing, or not
- some of our favourite books, stories and TV shows
