I'm not big on double posting, but talking about my book going to the Nook isn't really a post.
I was recently asked on Twitter (by @JanalynVoigt) what I would differently about my debut, if I could.
Honestly, I would never go with a publisher. I would self-publish all the way. Keep the control, reap the benefits, make my own way.
Granted, I learned a lot because of the publisher. I had never looked into the publishing industry before, or thought about marketing myself. Those have been valuable lessons.
But, really, the majority of the work has been done by me. My guidance was minimal, just shoved in the general direction. I've learned more from fellow authors, and places like the Indie Book Collective.
So, I'd be way indie from the start. I would make my stumbling, bumbling start with no one else profitting from my work.
