A quick technical guide to indie publishing in the Philippines (Part 1)
Self-publishing — or, as I prefer to call it, independent/indie publishing — has come a long way from the dark ages when your only options were spending a ton of money to print and store hundreds of paperbacks and hand-selling them from your garage, or wasting a ton of money on a deal with a vanity press. The technology around publishing now lets each author become an independent book publishing business.

Hello, friends, it’s November 2022. Happy National Novel Writing Month. Some of you may be doing NaNoWriMo this year. I won’t be. Probably not. For various reasons. But I feel that even if you don’t plan on doing the NaNoWriMo challenge, it doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate National Novel Writing Month. How I’m going to do that, I have no idea.
