Episode 22 - Trad VS Self-publishing

I share the good news I received this week!!! Plus I tackle traditional VS self-publishing (VS indie). How to find out which route is more aligned for you when deciding how to publish your first novel, the multiple reasons why I personally chose trad, and why it’s not a set-in-stone decision.
