Hello everyone!
New here, but I already went through the wiki.
I’m actually very excited about this journey! It seems hard and tricky, but also fun.
I was wondering, though, how do you guys build an audience with a pen name. I have some followers on my personal IG, nothing big, but I want to publish with a pen name and hopefully without showing my face.
How do you guys built an audience from scratch? It seems SO hard. It was already hard for me in my personal account.
Any advice or personal experience with it is much appreciated!!! Thanks :)

Hey guys!

I am a literary editor (working for like 9 years in traditional Spanish publishing houses) and a literary writer (I won a prize for a short story, I also am a literary critic in a traditional Spanish newspaper) and I randomly came across a publication in this subreddit about treating selfpublication as a business. I was actually surprised on how prolific some authors are and how lucrative that business can be.

I actually love writing in popular genres like sci-fi, romantic, fantasy, etc. and I wanted to know how to start this journey. I understand you guys usually publish through Amazon, right?

Do you need to have a skill to be able to build eBooks?
How do you promote your work?
Would you recommend doing this if you love to write and know how to?
Should I write in English or does Spanish also have its public? (That’s my first language)

I really am so lost. Even in that post you talked about some terms I knew nothing about lol.

I would appreciate advice + some tips!
I might lose a stable job that I have because they’re closing the project and I really need to think of ways of getting an income. This might be a long journey, but at least it would be something I love to do.

Thanks! :)
