151: Self-Publishing Workshop, Part 1: So You Want to Self-Publish Your Memoir

<p>This episode is for the writer who is looking at their publishing options. In 2026, the publishing routes available to you are many, and I want you to have the tools you need to discern which one is the best fit for you. What I want to break down in this episode specifically is the reframe that self-publishing does not need to be your Plan B. My intention in these next 20 minutes or so is to both educate you on how publishing actually works and help you pay attention to the <em>process</em> of publishing more than the <em>product</em>, so you can make an informed and empowered decision as the author.
