As someone with over 10 years in publishing experience, I get asked a lot of questions: so I decided to write them all down with quick, actionable feedback. These aren't robust, full length answers, these are short, conversational responses that will point you in the right direction. Also keep in mind I'm a strong advocate of self-publishing, which gives authors more control, flexibility and earning power - so some of my answers may seem unconventional. But it's a brave new world, and progressive thinking authors like me are making a killing selling books.
