Project Italy is officially in the hands of its girt set of readers and I’m nervous 😅
But this means we’re one step closer to this book being released!
Right now I’m counting down to revealing the official title! But before the title can be revealed, the Kickstarter needs to reach 75 followers! Help us reach that goal by following the Kickstarter or sharing this post!

If you’re self-publishing a book and you’re looking for a literal to-do list that you can follow and reference as you work through the publishing process, then you’ve come to the right place. At this point, I’ve published a pretty big backlog of books and I’ve broken down the publishing process into a literal to-do list for myself, and for you. Today we’re doing a broad overview of all the things you need to take into account when you’re self-publishing a book so you don’t miss a step in the process.

It’s my first time back to vlogging after having my second baby and I’m sharing what it really looks like getting back into writing. As a mom of two, finding time, energy, and focus to write again hasn’t been easy—but I’m figuring it out one small step at a time. If you’re a writer, author, or creative mom trying to balance motherhood and your passions, I hope this gives you encouragement and realistic insight into writing with a newborn (and a toddler).

Just how important is typography for your book cover? You may think the image on your cover is the selling point, but the text can make or break your book cover. I personally believe that typography can be the thing that makes your book cover look professional, or the thing that makes it look amateur and cheap. With that said, today I wanted to talk about the five rules of typography in book cover design that you need to know if you plan on designing your cover yourself.

I published my first book in 2013. Since then, I’ve published seven novels, a novella, a handful of non-fiction books, a couple of planners, and even a children’s book. To say I’ve learned a lot since then is an understatement. What are some of the biggest things I’ve learned about the self-publishing industry, and things I wish I had known BEFORE I started publishing? That’s exactly what we’ll be talking about today.
