@Christa Karim Thank you, Christa! I completely agree. Building an audience before publishing can make a big difference because readers already feel connected to both the author and the book before launch day. It's something I wish more writers knew earlier in their journey. By the way, do you also publish your books on Amazon KDP?

@Christa Karim That’s exciting, Christa! 😊 Finishing the manuscript is such a big milestone, and it’s great that you’re already thinking about the publishing side before the book is done. Building connections and understanding the process early can make the journey much smoother when you’re ready to launch. Wishing you the best with your writing! What genre are you working on?
