Stephen is the author of ‘Photography and Zen:: Discovering your true nature through photography. ‘ and ‘RadicalDetox: How to save your life, restore your health, and create a new planet’

Hi Stephen, you mentioned CreateSpace from Amazon as being a good option for self-publishing. I’m exploring this option for my next book. In your experience is there anything i should be wary of? Hugs, Amanda
Stephen Bray
Hi Amanda, there are other inexpensive options. Hutchinson Publishing comes to mind. CreateSpace is the simplest and gives you most control – but they won’t promote your book – you must do that for yourself. The reality is that most first-time authors self-publish initially, promote their work – ofter via Social Media, and then get picked up by larger publishing houses from there.

Maxima Dela Paz
Hi there Steven!
Steven Healey
Q3 Must you plan your book, blog, or vLog?
Patricia A Murray
Your warning about falling in love with your own writing is spot on. After you’re done writing, you should be able to shout at it, tear it apart, and put it back together. 🙂

Writer’s block often happens when you try to write and edit at the same time. Practice writing while ignoring the self-critical voice in your head.
Ileane Smith
Hi Jeff Adams Hey Patricia A Murray
Patricia A Murray
Good writers are uncommon and keep proofreaders/editors in business. Don’t let misspelled words stop you, LOL.
