🔒 Self-Publishing Off the Amazon Path

Last month, I was thrilled to join Karolina Wudniak of Paperwing Studio in the Indie Book Lab! 

We talked about how I approached self-publishing without relying on Amazon — including the platforms I used, the (costly) mistakes I made, and how much money I’ve brought in from my book so far (revenue AND profit).

I also answered lots of attendee questions:

• Why did you decide to avoid Amazon? & How much could you really?
• What size audience would you recommend having before going Amazon-less?
• Is it realistic to make sales without Amazon’s reach? How do you handle discoverability?
• What does fulfillment look like without a big platform?
• What about international sales?
• Is this only viable for nonfiction or niche audiences? What about debut authors?
• How much more work is it, realistically?
• And finally… why is your paperback actually on Amazon anyway?

It was a great conversation, and I’m excited to share the recording — exclusively with paid subscribers in the Clubhouse :)
