This episode of Indie Author Weekly shares a step-by-step guide for what to do AFTER writing a first draft of your manuscript...
So, you wrote a book. Congratulations! That's a huge accomplishment and something to feel really proud about.
...But, this is also just the beginning of your author journey. If you want to become a published author, then there are a few more steps you need to take. And that’s what I want to talk about in this episode of the Indie Author Weekly podcast: what to do after you write the first draft of your book.
Because it’s not enough to write a first draft. If you leave it here, then you’re going to continue to be an aspiring author, rather than an actual author. If you want to be published, then there’s a lot more to do after you write that first draft.
You can totally do this. It’s about committing to the process and following through. The world wants to read your work.
But you might be at a point where you really don’t know what you should do next. You might be sitting there, thinking “okay… now what? How do I continue moving forward and ensure my book sees the light of day?”
Tune into this episode of Indie Author Weekly for a step-by-step guide for making that happen… the actions you need to take after you write that first draft of your novel.
