I’m proud of my Canva cover. It reflects the heart of my book, it didn’t break the bank, and most importantly, I finished it.

Despite the challenges, I genuinely believe this is an amazing time to be a self-published author.

When I say “build a cult following for your book,” I don’t mean a creepy secret society.

Want to succeed in 2025? Don’t chase what publishers are buying. Write what readers are still begging for.
