What I really want is for this post to act as a sort of resource for other new writers who are thinking about self-publishing, particularly when it comes to IngramSpark and Amazon KDP. There’s a lot of stuff on the internet to help with self-publishing, and I’ve read a lot of it over the last two years as I’ve gradually brought my books to release, but there were still a few things that didn’t become clear to me until From the Grave of the Gods went live. So if this helps shed some light for new writers, that would be amazing. So, strap in because this will be a long one.

Launch week for From the Grave of the Gods was incredible. The outpouring of love and support from so many places has been overwhelming in the best possible way. I’ve posted sporadic live reactions to various updates surrounding the launch of the book on my social media channels throughout that week. So I thought I’d gather things together here on the blog and take you through what happened since day one, noting a few observations about the experience and things I wasn’t expecting.
