The Truth About Self-Publishing - KDP, Lulu & IngramSpark
Manage episode 477038074 series 3651639
Real talk about what works, what doesn’t, and how to navigate print-on-demand.
This week, I’m pulling back the veil on the not-so-glamorous world of self-publishing—and trust me, it’s not all six-figure royalties and Canva book mock-ups.
Whether you're mid-memoir, finally writing that novel you've carried for years, or just wondering how the hell KDP, IngramSpark, and Lulu differ—I’ve got you covered.
From this morning’s sunny golf round to an afternoon drenched in Christmas Island rain (literally), I’m bringing you the raw, real truth about self-publishing:
- What platforms actually work (and which ones charge you for breathing)
- Why I pay $150 to IngramSpark for global promo—and still celebrate $2.70 royalties
- How to set your creative space with white sage, palo santo, and a whole lot of intention
- Why your story deserves to be told, even if you start messy
It’s part pep talk, part publishing breakdown, and a whole lot of midlife magic for writers ready to go all in.
✨ Grab your journal, light a candle, and let’s dive in.
