I need your opinions

 I am trying to decide to self publish or to traditionally publish there are pros and cons to both.

 If I self publish, I have control over the title, design, and timing. But I will have to promot myself by myself. Which I am not great at to begain with. Everything I will have to pay for my self.

If I try to get self published I would have help promoting if I get an agent. And it will not really cost me anything. But I don't have much control over the title, cover, or timing of it coming out.

I am have a hard time deciding. So I thought I would ask you all so please comment about this and let me know what you think.


Happy reading

July

July was one of the months I didn't have an event where I did a book signing. But it was still busy, I edited book 4 of my Ann Smith serises. Before I gave it to my beta reader who is really good with all the english stuff I am not very good with. I did some writing done on more than one story. I also took part in the weekly prompt from the Hold my pen promptcast. Lets talk about the editing process. For me its self editing to catch as must as I can. I self edit at least four times before I give it to anyone else. My beta reader is my mother in law to be honest. She loves all the things that deal with english, which is helpful to me. I am dyslexic, so I am not great with spelling and grammar. She goes over and reads my stories ensuring everything looks good. She is a huge help to me. My muse has been a busy bee and has me working on a few stories I have written at least a few pages on. I also have written on a few new story ideas, the only thing I haven't worked on was...

This month went pretty good. the only events I had was Archon 48 and Books By The Arch. I also had Life By The Eclipsed Moon come out on Oct. 15th. the rest of the month has been preparing for November and one Dr. appointment. Archon 48 went ok, I sold abook, a book box, and a blind date with a book. A bunch of people did scan the QR code on my dot card. one young lady got book one on her kindle while we talked. I also got to see people I haven't seen in a while and I met some really awesome people. All in all I say it was a good event, I can't wait til next year. this was the first year I did Books By The Arch. It went well, I sold 2 books and 2 book boxes.

September

September has started good, I went to Lexington Legendary Book Bash as a signing author. It went well I sold 4 book boxes and a copy of my vampire book. I met so many wonderful people, I was at the table next to Micca Michaels and across the way from Evie Black. All the readers were so kind and fun to talk to. I plan on doing it again next year. The rest of this month I am working on reorganizing and making sure I have everything I need for the next few events. I am going to be at Archon 48 from Oct. 3-5. Archon is an awesome scifi convention that takes place in the St Louis area. I enjoy going every year, I get to see some awesome cosplays. I also get to see some friends who I don't get to see most of the year. The event after Archon is Books By The Arch Oct. 11th, this will be the first year for this event for me. so I don't have any idea of how it will go, I am hoping for it to go well. I will update on the these events next month. Happy reading Happy writing
