Just planning my first book signing at Indigo book store in Cambridge, Ontario, and this was invaluable information. Thank you.
How many books are to many?
Hi everyone, I’ve just published my first book, a Social-Emotional Learning story for children ages 4–8, though I’ve been surprised to hear from readers well into their teens who connected with it too. I’m 60 and very new to the writing community, very late by some standards, but very on time by others. I also live with dysgraphia, which means writing has never come easily for me in a technical sense, but ideas and stories have always come in abundance. For years they stayed in my head. Recently, something opened, and now they don’t seem to stop. I’m finding myself thinking in chapters, scenes, and entire books throughout the day, and I’ve started writing daily because not doing so feels harder than doing it. What I’m trying to understand now, and would really value insight on, is pacing. Not ā€œhow many books in total,ā€ but how often is healthy or sustainable to self-publish? How do you balance momentum with craft, especially when the ideas keep coming? I’m grateful to be here and looking forward to learning from those further along the path.

Hi, I'm Eddie. I'm from Woodstock, Ontario. Just published my first social emotional learning chapter book 10 days ago. It's for 4-8 year olds but 10 and above, including adults have enjoyed it. Have already been asked if I'd talk to a couple of classes, one in my town and another by Zoom in Alberta. I am late to writing add in 60 years old. I've been a Child and Youth Counselor for 15 years after serving my country as a military police officer. I have been watching a lot of your YouTube videos. Looking forward to learning from you. My biggest issue is marketing, especially social media. I have Facebook but I don't understand Tiktok and instagram lol.
