The hard part isn’t writing the book. It’s finding the people who will actually love reading it. I think most indie authors aren’t looking for millions of readers. They just want their book to reach the right readers. So keep putting it out there. Talk about your story. Share your process. Connect with other readers and authors. And don’t be afraid to ask people to give your book a chance. Sometimes, the readers your book deserves are out there. They just haven’t found you yet.
