Publishing Belfast Song

Between now and the publication of Belfast Song, I will be blogging on the journey to publication as it happens. Publishing a first novel is a BIG step. In my case, even more so, as I will be self-publishing.

Self-publishing is rapidly expanding as a viable alternative to the traditional approach. Writers & Artists Year Book 2024 has a section entitled Self-publishing and indie authors, whereas the 2021 year book included only a few entries within their listing of publishers. It is also becoming more complex. I hope my blog will be helpful to any writers who are considering this as a possible route.

It does mean more involvement in every stage of the process and in particular, in promotion and publicity. So, by way of establishing a base camp for the expedition to publication, I’ve invested in a website well in advance of the intended publication date of September 24. That’s been a learning curve in itself.
