To all those who have tackled the challenge of writing a cohesive work of fiction (or non-fiction) and overcome their self-doubts by hitting that scary-looking PUBLISH button. Congratulations! It is no small achievement.

Thank you so much!! :) Recently just published my debut novel and I'm super excited to get it out there!

The Sigil: A Novel

Congratulations everyone!

I just published my first novel in November.

Signs Along the Journey

I published my first book last June. Not a boring textbook. Engaging true scenarios, dialogues, stories, advice, and tips from 35 years of K-12 experience. You'll laugh, cry, agree, disagree, and learn to have JOY in teaching and learning. My mission: for each book purchased, I gift one to a teacher or parent. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ST3LD7X

congratulations!

i am just wondering how long should you promote your first book before proceeding to the next one?

My Dear Ellie: For Eleanor: Your Love is Eternal

Thank you so much, it is nice to be welcomed like this. Goodreads has such an inviting and warm atmosphere for readers and especially new writers. Here is some information about my book.

My Dear Ellie is a coming of age story about two beautiful best friends Eleanor James and Cassandra Grace, or Ellie and Cassie. Cassie narrates their life story and talks about their friendship which has a bond strong enough to last a thousand lifetimes. Read the story about these two extraordinary characters growing up from little girls to young ladies.

The novel is available to purchase in both kindle and paperback format on Amazon. Please check it out. It is free on kindle unlimited.

The answer is "Yes." ;)
Promo one continuously (until you become Stephen King or JK Rowling and don't need to)
And always be writing the next one. Keep rolling, constantly.
Don't stop never stopping. ;)

Thank you so much! I published my first two novels in October! Thank you Jeff for the answer to Anna. I was wondering the same thing. I am already onto writing my next few novels but was wondering how long you should continue to promote the others as well. Thanks for the answer! Love the community on here!

Thank you all for welcoming and supporting first-time authors like myself. It is much appreciated.

Hello everyone! Thanks for the nice welcome to first-time authors like me! I published my first novel, The Better Angels, in December. It's about a sixty-something woman who discovers she can travel through time. She joins with other senior time travelers of the American Association of Remarkable Persons ("the other AARP") to solve a mystery in Civil War-era New York City.

What a lovely thread. Congratulations to all of you who, like me have recently published your first book/novel. My book, SHAW POINT was published in November 2019 and is my first. It is available on Amazon as an e-book and also as a paper back. It is historical fiction set during the time period of the first world war but the story is in Virginia, USA. It follows a young war widow as she moves forward in life without her beloved husband. Amazon has a nice preview available.

Congratulations to all you first-time publishers. What a great feeling! It's a big learning curve but you did it!

you're welcome! i will check it out =)

I have a friend who is a scriptwriter and a director. He just congratulated me for writing my first book L'Alpha et L'Omega de Ma Vie. For me, this book is a personal memoire but I think it could also be a self-help book for those who want to understand how it is to make a choice when it comes to love and relationship.

Anyway, my friend told me that I will be experiencing dark moments when it comes to promoting my book. It is totally normal and that should not stop me from writing.

So, to all new published authors out there, let us never stop writing despite of 0 followers, 0 reviews, nor a reader who stopped at page 5 to begin with. let's do this! =)

Congratulation again to all the authors in this community! Your story could save lives as well! =)

I am a new author and have recently self-published my first book of poetry, Lines by Leon: Poems, Prose, and Pictures in January 2020. It is an eclectic mix of poetry and short stories that address the subjects of loss, struggle, human behaviour, and environment. Many pieces are humorous and lighthearted with illustrations.

First reviews are in! A couple of 5*’s on Goodreads. Thank you!

Mary is the only one who can save the whole world but she doesn't know about her destiny. She tries to find her vocation among another's life and memory but she's destined to find herself only through her soul.

Dragons? Not today.

Stroppy magical cat (not a talking one)? Bet your fur...

Come and play!
