Links For Articles About Self-Publishing
The following are links I have tweeted on my @dcPriya account over the past month. Almost all are about self-publishing. I decided to create a blog post containing the links for those writers and authors who are interested in self-publishing but don't use Twitter.
This industry continues to grow in new and interesting ways, and opportunities abound.
Hope you find these helpful. Enjoy!
