Is self-publishing the right path for your book? 🤔📚 After pouring my heart into my picture book Storm Trucks and navigating the traditional publishing process without success, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I chose to self-publish, and it’s been an empowering journey. In my latest YouTube video, I break down why I made this decision, the real challenges and benefits of self-publishing, and how you can make it work for your book too. If you’re feeling stuck or curious about the self-publishing process, this video might just be what you need to get inspired and take control of your creative project. 🔗 Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/gmznufk9 Whether you’re an aspiring author, an illustrator, or someone just interested in the publishing industry, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic! Let’s connect and discuss how we can create the best opportunities for our stories. And if you’d like to support my Storm Trucks journey, check out the Kickstarter link in the comments. I'd love to send you a copy and some exclusive goodies! #SelfPublishing #PublishingIndustry #AuthorJourney #CreativeEntrepreneur #IndieAuthor #PictureBooks #CharlotteGlaze #WritingCommunity #StormTrucks

Blogs are evergreen assets for you and your brand. 📚 Think of each one like a mini book. Something people could pick up in a few days or a few years and get to know you by. Sometimes I even like to print mine out and send them to people as physical letters. - Here's my latest one - https://lnkd.in/epGJnzHT #Blogging #LeadGeneration

A monthly goal is to read one self-help book, in addition to my book club pick. For February I re-read One Yellow Brick by Melissa Swader ✅ I read this a year ago and it had so many takeaways, I wanted a refresher. If you’re looking for an inspirational read that will also help with #socialmedia #marketing and #strategy, then check this out! It’s on Amazon! #selfimprovement #tools #socialemediamarketing #cre

When it comes to launching your book, you have to commit to a single launch strategy.  If you commit and try to do a little bit of everything, you're going to burn out. You're going to spend a ton of time. You're going to question everything. It's not going to be fun and you won't know what worked and what didn't. I made this mistake!  With my first book, I tried everything you could possibly imagine. I tried every launch strategy.  It worked, but I didn't know why it worked and I was exhausted.  What you need to do is commit to a single launch strategy & understand EXACTLY what your intentions are.

Let's reframe book marketing. So often we talk about it with frustration and even despair. I'm not saying getting people to buy our books is easy but building a platform becomes a tad easier when we focus on connecting with the people who WANT our books, instead of the faceless "everybody" or the people who actively shun or judge our subject matter. A book marketing tip for today: Reach out to one person who needs one idea from your book (books-in-progress too, you don't have to be finished!) and share it with a note "I was thinking of you when I was writing today and thought you might find this useful." Small connections rewire our brains to remember there are people in the world who want and need what we have to say. (Picture of me being excitedly silly about book marketing.)
