The Book's Fine — You're the Problem (Author Red Flags)
I buy a lot of indie books. I support self-published authors. But sometimes… I just can’t hit that “Buy Now” button — and it has nothing to do with the book itself.
In this video, we’re talking about the red flags that make readers walk away — from author meltdowns over 3-star reviews to constant subtweeting, girlboss facades, and books that are more therapy session than story.
If you're an indie author trying to build your career, you need to hear this.
