Self-publishing can mean uploading files to Amazon, or it can look like this. The only thing I don’t do is my own printing, because my volume of sales doesn’t currently justify me buying a good laser printer. (Some of you have heard my moans about dealing with printers, but we won’t talk about that…)
I write the content and unfortunately do the editing, too, which isn’t ideal, but the rates I charge myself are rock-bottom! I do the layouts and prepare the files. I wrangle with the printers more often than not, and bring the pages home and do my own folding and stapling. And I might listen to something nice like Candlelit Tales Irish mythology YouTube channel while I’m doing it.
I hope my customers think my efforts are worth it, and enjoy knowing that I get to keep a bigger chunk of what they pay for my books, because I do it this way. That means that after postage, packing, printing - I get a little something for my writing time.
If you like my writing, you might want to consider my books as a possibility if you’re doing a little holiday shopping, or just like to read. They're all listed on this page.

This is what the webshop looks like. You can click through to long descriptions of each book, complete with excerpts.
If you want to get each new book as it comes out, and give this venture a bit of extra support, you can get each new book automatically by joining my Patreon community at the Sturdy Pony tier ($7 monthly), or higher. Then, you can think of yourself as a bigwig publisher, giving me an advance on the next book!
