How I Wrote & Published a Novel in Less Than a Year – BOOK PUBLISHING TIMELINE
172How I Wrote & Published a Novel in Less Than a Year – BOOK PUBLISHING TIMELINE // In today’s YouTube video I’m going to walk you through my book publishing timeline for Meet Me at the Summit! I started writing this book last year as a part of Preptober and NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and was able to write and publish it in less than a year! And I I’m hoping to follow the same methods as I write and publish the second book in the Road Trip Snapshot Duology! I’ll be showing you how I planned my book release by walking you through my writing and editing process for my novel, and how I tracked it all in The Book Launch Planner.
Pre-Order the final books in the Marketing for Authors series!!!
