So, you’ve got a book idea—what’s next? In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most important decisions you'll make on your author journey: choosing your publishing route.

(As the published author of The Little Shot series, in my previous episode in this series, I guided you step-by-step from ideation to building your team, and I shared insights on marketing your book.)
