Why Your First Book Should Be Self-Published
Don’t make the same mistake as me.
One of the biggest questions a writer can ask when finishing their first book is how to publish it.

On one part, I wanted my book to appear in one of the distinguished publishers. My dream has always been to be a recognized writer, and I understood that this was the easiest way to climb the ladder.
