Spent years reading and studying the Bible

to self-pub?
As a new author I had to go with
self-publishing.
If self-published, did you hire someone to
format the ebook version for you or did you do it yourself? Can you tell us what that was like?
The publisher that I went with did the
e-book version for me.
If self-published, how did you determine
the price?
The publisher set the price of the book.
If published by a publisher, what was your
deciding factor in going with them?
I went with the publisher I did because I
was in hopes they could get my book into the bookstores
If published by a publisher, are you happy
with the price they chose?
No, I thought the price was just a little
bit to high.

month to release your book? Why?
No, just wanted to get it published.
How did you choose your cover?
The publisher helped in the design of the
cover depending upon my approval.

revise as you went?
I revised it as I went along, but after it

What are three of the most important
things you believe an author should do before their book is released?
·
Try to generate some hype, Press
release, social media.

Set a budget for advertising.
·
Set a plan for how to best sell your book on a budget.
Without a
budget and a plan you advertising can get out of control quickly.
What are three of the most important
things you believe an author should do after their book is released?
·
Never commit to any advertising sales pitches without taking a day or two
to think about it. This will keep you from wasting your money on things that
are not going to produce sales.

Seek advice from other authors if you can on how to best promote you book.

Remember that you are the best salesman ever for your book, talk with
passion about your book. If you talk with passion you can sell others on your
book.

book?
I would like to see it be translated into
different languages and go into different countries.
What would you like to say to your readers
and fans about your book?
This is the greatest book on the Song of
Solomon you will ever find. It is pack full of keys of understanding that will
open you mind to new level with God. God word actually explains it’s self when
you take the scriptures to unlock other scriptures.
