Ciao Barbara, si si I'm Italian like you 😊 I'm bilingual so I've written most of my novels in English.
You are a published writer, just not a fiction writer but one day, who knows right? That's the beauty of this art, you are on a journey and that journey can change any moment.
What you said about social media is exactly what I'm talking about. I do believe we'll see an evolution in publishing soon, something will happen to change the balance again. Keep up the good work bella

Matthew, keep writing and publishing. And at your own pace like you are doing now.
There are a lot of readers interested in your genre, try looking at Facebook romance readers group, I'm sure you'll find bloggers too willing to read and help you share.

Hi Denise. Of course nowadays there are various social media platforms one can use. I still find that all the ones I've used (Facebook, Instagram, tiktok...) haven't been very helpful lately, not as they once were and I strongly believe that it's because there's been a huge shift from sharing and promoting to paid advertising. It's getting harder and harder, but I'm glad you found something that's working for you. If you'd like to share anything with us, please comment below ☺️

Ciao Kris, thank you for reading. It's a relief to see I'm not the only one who's struggling with these aspects related to publishing. Keep up the good work

Thank you for reading and sharing your experience. Yes, exactly my point on social media and social media reach. Keep writing and putting your name out there.

Thank you for reading. Keep up the good work and doing what feels best for you.

Thank you for sharing your experience.
I've been there, being rejected and things just not working out for some reason, it's really a tough scene the book world. Keep up the good work and don't let anyone tell you that you are not a writer. I know it was one of your relatives but just because someone works in publishing doesn't mean they're absolute experts.
