🎤 Turtle Publishing Talks at FantaSciiCon

🖋 Day 1: How to Publish Without Losing Your Mind

Overwhelmed by self-publishing advice and tech, or asking “What now?” after finishing your manuscript? I’ve got you. In plain English, I’ll walk you through each step: writing, editing, launch, and even post-launch visibility strategies to keep your book discoverable. You’ll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a plan you can actually follow—without losing your mind.

🚀 Day 2: Cracking the Amazon Code: Visibility Secrets for Indie Authors

Heard the myth that your books won’t sell on Amazon—or that “making money” is impossible? Let’s bust that. In this hands-on session, I’ll show you the strategies that make Amazon work for you. From keywords and categories to metadata and author presence, discover practical steps to get your book seen—and selling. Perfect whether you’re still writing or already published.

📚 Plus—Kathy will be there with New Earth

I’ll also be showcasing my new dystopian novel, New Earth. Come say hi, grab a copy, and chat about navigating worlds—fictional or otherwise.
