During the winter, it's incredibly quiet outside because most of the birds fly south or go into hiding. Whatever they do, they stop making noise. Over the last couple of days, even though it's been dreary and gray, I've been starting to think that the worst of winter may be behind us. The avian forest dwellers are starting to tweet and chirp again. When the birdies are happy, it makes me happy.
This week's article is more about business than publishing, but something I'm constantly trying to explain to aspiring self-publishers is that publishing is not all about creative expression and writing. Publishing is first and foremost a business, so you need to pay attention to finances. Although our company is relatively new to publishing our own books, we aren't new to business. It's easy to forget that I've got years of experience running a business in a wide variety of economic climates.
So without further ado, let's talk money!
Enjoy!
