Recently, a shift has taken place in my writing life.

In my first five years of writing, I focused on learning the craft and

improving my skills. During these years, I almost never felt that I'd

written something worthy of publishing. My work simply wasn't up to par.

But now, that's beginning to change.

I'm finally coming to a place where I'm happy with my storytelling and

prose. There's always more to learn and more room to grow, of course, but

now I'm beginning to turn my eye toward publishing in earnest.

To prepare, I've been reading and researching everything I need to know

about the publishing process, and I'm finally ready to share what I've

learned with you in a new series on publishing. Hurray!
