Hi Jack!

Thank you for the great tips and good warnings, too. I’m currently focusing on self-publishing my memoir through Amazon. Luckily for me, my dad has self-published several books and he has been happy to help me through the process. I would like to gain a size-able audience through my memoir. I’ve been working on building mainly my Instagram and Medium presence to help with this. I’m also figuring out who to ask to write a foreward for my book as well as book review blurbs. Lots to think about! I’m also lucky that I have had beta readers and readers who are currently editing my latest draft.

The children’s book idea is something I’d like to explore further down the line.

I’m so glad Deb has found the journey enjoyable. A big part of me wants to connect with others and contribute what I have learned to hopefully help others along their paths, too.

See you in the Medium community! And, thank you for your detailed response!
