I’ve written a book which is a one off therapeutic coming of rage journey. Funny rude and thought provoking . Not published it. I’m now writing a YA series about the balance in magic. What would be your advice re self publishing on Amazon?

That's fantastic, my husband thinks writing is a waste of time 😭, as do my parents. But I'm too stubborn to listen to them. I mean I do make more than if I went back to the office, but I work about double the hours!

Arya Walton - Author ✍️ 📚 :
That is amazing. My husband is supportive of my writing but not supportive in the slightest of me leaving full time work. So I’m currently trying to write, market, work 9-5 5 days a week, and also we’re launching our own marketing business not related to writing to try and hopefully get out of the 9-5s soon. But I really wish he’d just agree to me quitting and put the belief in the fact that we’ll make it 😭

That’s so good. Thank you. It was whilst my partner was dying that I told her that I’d write a book about her, and get my books published. I’ve finished the book, I’m really not too sure about agents lol. This shows that there’s an alternative way! Thank you. Good luck for the future.

Just about to listen to book 8. Really enjoyed the series, so sad to see it coming to an end. Thankyou for publishing them as audiobooks, as a dyslexic it’s a pleasure to be able to listen. Look forward to more in the universe! Will they also be available as audiobooks?
