On Friday, a package came for me in the mail. It took me by surprise since I didn’t remember ordering anything. After some investigation I found the name of my oldest daughter in the place of the sender. On my gosh! A Mother’s day present. I opened the package and found an adorable figurine of [...]

Something he didn’t mention in the article, but has been going through my mind is overhead costs for indie publishers. For me, I’ve been thinking like [...]
