Today I'm giving a recap of what was accomplished in months ten and eleven of being a full-time self-published author. So glad to have taken you all on this journey throughout the year. Can't believe in two weeks it will be an entire year since I said adios! Snail Mail: Courtney Young | PO BOX 697 | Groves, TX 77619 Do you have a question about self-publishing? ASK ME ANYTHING FOR MY Q&A MONDAY SERIES: https://forms.gle/fVbKesmhhCcUDBeP7 //A B O U T M E// Pen names: Lyra Parish & Kennedy Fox (we're an author duo!) I've been in the indie scene since 2011. I published my first romance novel in 2014 (Weak for Him). Under Kennedy Fox, we've made USA Today 4 times since 2017. With Lyra Parish, I've made top 100 several times on Amazon. I unpublished my Lyra Parish backlist in 2020 with zero regrets. You can watch that video here: https://bit.ly/3k8P6pa Want to find our Kennedy Fox Books?
