@John Elcik I could tell you horror stories for hours about clients and other authors who have had rights taken away because they didn't understand the contract. Vanity presses are a big player in being shady, for sure. I always recommend having a literary lawyer look over the agreement before you sign. If the publisher doesn't want to give you time to look over your agreement, that's a huge red flag.

@Sheryl Robinson Yes, but also if you don't get them in the right order, you end up wasting time and money, especially if you format before you are finished editing.
My book series is in a Girl Scout library!
Someone I've chatted with over social for many years, and I met at a convention. She works for Girl Scouts of Northern California and purchased my entire book series and the playbook! She is putting them into the council library for Girl Scouts from her council to check out and read! Also, I handed out 250 bookmarks in a day and a half. I thought that would be plenty since I handed out fewer than 50 stickers at the last convention. Who knew that bookmarks would be more popular than stickers?

Way to go! I have a bookmark, and it's funny how insanely popular they are!

I walk along the self-publishing path with thought leaders to write, edit, and self-publish their business books.
