I am planning to self publish a short novella as a magnet leader for my debut romance, and my publisher can’t do it, so I need all the help I can get!

Hi Laura,

I'm so glad you got your titles back! Your question is great--and one I face as well as soon as I finish the last of my series. The consensus seems to be that you should release them one at a time about three weeks apart. Do pre-release marketing for the first (indicating it's a series) and upon its release, make the rest available as preorders. Let readers know that the others will be coming soon so they want to buy now (and don't worry that it will take a long time to complete the series).

I wish you luck and great success with this!

Gale

Self-publishing now certainly is very different from the way it used to be. I'm glad you enjoyed the article!
