BIG ERROR at 6:20 - the actual number is "over 1370" not "over 1700." (My brain can't do numbers, as all y'all know.) Remember, we don’t edit these videos so you get raw, uncut, and real talk from Author Sandy Lender about books and, like today, the #publishing journey. I also offer up some real-world examples from my own novels/experiences so we aren’t throwing shade at anyone but me. We throw no shade at other authors on this channel if we can help it, but we do praise other authors as often as possible.
What qualifies me to talk about elements of the writing and/or publishing industry? I have an English degree and a thirty-year career in editing, and I’ve had books published by four indie publishing houses and had novellas and short stories published in a handful of anthologies. (I’ve also self-published some titles on my own.) I have a handful of creative writing and technical writing awards and was nominated for the Pushcart Prize a couple years ago. The most recent award announcement stuff is at this video: youtube.com/shorts/dKBuZyB7NXE?feature=shared
