In this episode, host Inger Johnson dives into the second half of publishing — distribution and marketing — for authors who don’t have a $60,000 budget. She breaks down the KU vs. going wide decision, explains the acronyms nobody warned you about, and shares practical, realistic strategies for getting your book discovered. Plus, a mindset check for when the doubt creeps back in.
