Information overload leads to analysis paralysis! I know how it feels when you are so overwhelmed that you cannot make a decision.You might be wondering if you can even Self-Publish on your own! A little bit about me! I didn't believe I could write and Self-Publish a book on my own until I did! I was once where you are with this incredible story floating in my head and dreams of becoming an author in my heart. Then finally, I wrote my first picture book manuscript in September 2016 (I know the exact date because I journal it). I had no idea how this story would come to life and how I could hold a finished book in my hand, but I wrote it. Then came a year-long into the process of Self-Publishing, where all the pieces and a lot of people came together to produce my first ever published book.Self-Publishing allowed me to finally cross off a dream I have been holding onto for so long. I also achieved many other things after publishing my first two books.This guide is the guide I wish I had when I started, I stumbled and doubted myself every step of the way, and I wish I had someone to tell me many of the realities I have disclosed in this guide.
