I'll be using #askanauthor on a daily(ish) basis to answer YOUR questions about writing, publishing, and books! Drop a comment in any of these Shorts and I'll add your question to my list! This one comes from @avionne parris
"Let's say, hypothetically, that you never published your novels... (no I Heart Band series, no Olive and the Backstage Ghost, No Spell and Spindle, etc.) Given the current traditional publishing climate (post-Covid, book printing crisis, dying midlists, DOJ / B&N drama, etc.), if you were to debut right now, would you still recommend the traditional publishing route? Or would you have tried self publishing first? Thanks in advance, Michelle and thank you for all the great content! Hi Rosa :-)"
