Publishing Wide with Clarissa Gosling

Authorpreneurs Unleashed

Authors often cite “creative freedom” and “increased control” when asked why they choose to self-publish. There are other options besides Kindle Direct Publishing, but many don’t know how to access those options, or they simply get cold feet when it comes to publishing wide.

If this describes you, this episode is here to help.

About Our Guest:

Clarissa Gosling lives in the Netherlands with her family, where she writes as much as they will let her.

Clarissa is the author of the Dragons of Kaitstud' and Lost Princess of Starlight YA fantasy series, and the Expat Life series of non-fiction guides for families moving, and living, abroad. She is an admin for the 365 Writing Challenge, an international group that supports people to build the habit of writing. And she is one of the co-hosts of the Reading Queens podcast, which discusses young adult fantasy books and their major tropes.
