My original plan was to release this in October but life and my “heckuva summer” got in the way, so I decided to take my own advice and not stick to an arbitrary deadline OR release the book before it was truly ready. And so, I’m announcing the official December 1, 2023 PRE-ORDER for Self-publishing: The Ins & Outs of Going Indie. At this time, it’s only available to pre-order in digital format, but there will be paperback and large print editions available by publication date. It’s priced at $4.99 USD/$5.99 CAD and you can find it at all the usual suspects at www.books2read.com/going-indie.

Here’s a bit about it:
