I discuss what I feel my biggest self-publishing mistake was so far in my journey as a writer and author.
Quite a key point I didn't make obvious here was that when I mention going with Amazon compared to the wide approach, I meant the exclusive route for Amazon. Not sure why that flew over my head whilst recording but ah well!
In essence, I I'd now recommend going exclusively with amazon and ditching the wide option if you're a new-time author. Though this won't be without sacrifice... or perhaps there is a middleground I can come to terms with. I definitely wished I'd done more research before dismissing Amazon for paperbacks!
This all without mentioning the delays in deliveries too...
