About this video
What's up, my friend? In today's video I'm showing you at a glance MY WHOLE INDIE PUBLISHING PROCESS – how much time and energy goes into every step, what to do and when to do it, blog tours, ARC readers, hardcovers, libraries, etc. etc. If you've been thinking about self-publishing your novel and want to "go wide" (make your book available everywhere in every format) I hope this video will help you get the general idea of how to pull off a kickass book launch all on your own.

My name is Abbie Emmons I teach writers how to make their stories matter by harnessing the power and psychology of storytelling, transforming their ideas into a masterpiece, and creating a lifestyle that makes their author dreams come true.
Story isn’t about “what happens” — it’s about how what happens affects and transforms the characters. I believe that there is an exact science (a recipe, if you will) behind a perfect story. And if you know what ingredients you need, you can create your own perfect story with ease and confidence. That’s what we talk about every week on this channel – and if it’s something you’re into, be sure to subscribe and join this community!
