For those who have published a book already, what was the timeline for editing? And how many editors did you hire (developmental, line editing, etc.)? I'm trying to work my timeline backward to give myself a writing deadline.

Do you have an email newsletter? Do you find it useful?

Glad to be here and grateful for the approval. I'm excited to learn, connect, and share ideas with amazing people in this community. Looking forward to growing and building together. 🚀

How long from when you finish your book until you hot publish? I want to publish my cozy romance this year, but I want to make sure I give myself enough time for editing.

Hi everyone! I'm so excited today because I just finished reviewing the audiobook for my book, and sent the pickups back to the narrator. I wanted to ask everyone, though, what would you recommend doing to promote your upcoming audiobook? My current idea is to have 10 hardback books signed and ready to send to the first 10 listeners. This would all be on my cost, however if things went well and more than 10 people wanted to have a signed hardback, I would have a way for people to purchase directly through me on a personal website or an etsy account (still brainstorming that one). The book would also include small goodies like a keychain that has art from the cover and bookish bookmarks/stickers. Part of me thinks this is sufficient, and I've planned it this way because it's within my budget. Another part of me wonders if it's enough. What do you think?
