Description

Thinking about making your book available beyond Amazon? In this episode, Michelle Rayburn breaks down what it really means to “go wide” and how to know if your book — and you — are ready for the next step. She explores the key signs that it might be time to expand your reach, from consistent Amazon sales and reader demand to having a marketing plan in place. Michelle also explains why staying exclusive to KDP can be a smart move for first-time authors and why IngramSpark is the industry standard when you’re ready for bookstores and libraries to carry your book. This episode will help you make a confident, strategic decision about whether now is the right time to go wide.
