Heading into my second year as an author I began to wonder if self publishing was right for me. Everywhere I read says that self publishing is the best option for a lot of reasons, including: “more money” and control. The control I get. I have the control over who I get to edit, what gets put in the books, and the artwork.

I get that self publishing gets more money, because you can choose your price and that in turn can make you the most profit.

I guess I am just bummed because I haven’t found my target audience yet. My books are aimed for teens to young adults, and even adults. But being science fiction/fantasy may be a hard genre.

I also don’t know if readers are interested in a series of books, rather than stand alone ones. I’m writing a series, hoping to add several more to it in the next year or so.

Even though my writing career hasn’t taken off yet, with just two books self published, I’m not going to give up just yet. Hoping a day will come that readers find my books interesting enough to read.
