Publishing can be a veritable minefield and the truth is that no author's publishing journey is, or should be, the same.

There are pros and cons to both publishing methods from budget to the amount of technical knowledge you may need as well as other things to consider such as cover design, editing, formatting, royalties, marketing, query letters, submissions....the list goes on and on!

Finding a mentor or someone you trust to give you the right answers to your questions and who will also help you to find a publishing path that suits your book goals is crucial...

So many budding writers tell me that they would love to write a book but that they just don't know where or how to get started!

The thing about book writing is that it can feel so overwhelming if you look at the whole project instead of breaking it down into manageable chunks.

Having a plan, a writing schedule and a clear idea of your writing goals, visions and aims can make the impossible feel possible...!

If you'd like help to get started on your writing journey then drop me a line at karen@mabelandstanleypublishing.com or find me on all the social media channels @mabelandstanleypublishing - I am always happy to help!

Being able to chat with fellow writers has been so helpful for me. It took me a long time to find my writing tribe - I almost gave up on book NINE! - but now that I have it's amazing.

Having like-minded individuals to chat to and seek creative ideas and motivation from is absolutely invaluable.
