The Hidden Cost of Self-Publishing No One Talks About
39The Hidden Cost of Self-Publishing No One Talks About
So... I at one point decided to self-publish a book.
No agent. No publisher. No marketing team. Just me, my laptop, a mild caffeine addiction, and a crushing sense of financial dread.
In this video, I break down the real costs of indie publishing—editing, cover design, formatting, ISBNs, and all the other stuff no one tells you about until it’s too late. I also talk about the mental toll, the lack of community, and what it’s like to try and market your book when you have no idea what you’re doing (hi, it’s me).
If you’re an indie author, thinking about self-publishing, or just enjoy watching slow-motion trainwrecks in real time, you’re in the right place.
