RE: A Day in the Clouds (Chapter 3) - The Hours Between 0700 and 0800

OK, I have a little insight to the self-publishing world - I am by no means an expert though so don't take this as a guarantee of success.

Get your book together, edit and proofread it as well as you can then put it up as an e-book on Amazon, Smashwords etc.

Connect with me via Twitter - @ShellGent and I'll retweet whenever I can. I'll also give your book a good shout-out on my other social media sites - again, no promises.

If you get a crowd-funding page sorted, I'll do the same for you on that with regards to shouting out to my own followers and friends.

The most important thing to do is get a few reviews going, so get copies of your book out to people who read the same genre and ask, beg, plead, cajole them for a review. If you ask if you can use their review elsewhere, let me know. I have a few places in mind where posting your reviews can get your name out there a little more.

One other piece of advice: Keep writing and KEEP POSTING on Steemit - both will help enormously.

Good Luck <3

Oh, wow! Thanks! I'm really grateful for the help. I might take you up on your offer, but for my first self-published book. I asked more than 50 people for a review, gave away even more free copies, but I've only received a small amount in return. When you see the number of reviews compared to the number of people I asked to review it, you'll see why I was traumatized from self-publishing lol

I'm currently refining it with a professional editor, but I'll tweet to you when a paperback version is available. I don't use Twitter nowadays anymore though, but my account is still there @jedau Don't mind the recent tweets, those are just auto-generated. Look at my tweets from before though and notice the lack of interaction from people haha!
