What is it really like to publish your debut novel? Publishing your first novel can seem like a daunting process if you have never experienced it.

In this iWriterly video, Meg LaTorre shares insights into what the publication process was like for The Cyborg Tinkerer in the five days leading to the release, including dealing with imposter syndrome, who do authors write for (themselves or readers), how to market a novel, publishing through KDP, IngramSpark, and other platforms, problems that arise last minute as an indie author, how to define success for yourself as an author, and much more.
