(Step 7) (Trust Your Creative Heart Roadmap)\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[00:00] Introduction to the Podcast\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hey everyone, Beth Barany here with How To Write The Future podcast. I&#8217;m a science fiction and fantasy writer and also a writing teacher, coach, and editor. and I&#8217;m here to talk about Step Seven in my Trust Your Creative Heart Roadmap.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[00:18] Overview of the Creative Heart Roadmap<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This roadmap is for writers who want to go from idea to finished novel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I work specifically with science fiction and fantasy writers. Although what I&#8217;m sharing in this roadmap can work with all fiction writers and probably even be extended out to nonfiction writers. Because I have worked with them as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[00:39] Launching and Publishing Your Novel, Step 7\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> So in this step, Step Seven, I&#8217;m going to talk about launching and publishing your novel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;m going to give you a few key points for you to consider and ask you a few questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, if you would like an overview of this entire roadmap. I have an episode on that. And if you would like a little bit deeper dive into each of these steps, I have episodes on that too. So be sure to check those out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And also I have a workbook that comes with this roadmap. So you can write notes and reflect on all the questions that I&#8217;m asking you. So be sure to, check that out. That link is in the description.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So today I&#8217;m going to talk briefly about launching and publishing your novel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two important things here that I want to say, and probably a few more, as I said, and then some questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[01:32] Key Considerations for Publishing\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> So when you launch and publish your novel, what I notice is for first time, novelists or people early in the process, they consider getting the book out there as quickly as they can because they want the satisfaction of having published. And that&#8217;s awesome. That&#8217;s wonderful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So just keep in mind: what is your goal for launching and publishing your novel? Are you doing it for yourself or are you doing it for readers, to find readers? If you are doing it for readers, awesome. I work with people who want to find their readers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then think about all the components of publishing your book that are for the readers, meaning you want to make sure that your cover, your book blurb, and all the material that goes with marketing your book, categories and keywords, subtitle, author bio&#8211; that these are all prepared ahead of time. And you&#8217;re thinking of your audience as you write these.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[02:29] The word &#8220;Launch&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I want to talk about the word &#8220;launch.&#8221; When we say &#8220;launch your novel,&#8221; what we mean: is have, have a big announcement and tell everyone, Hey, my book is published. Now you can throw a party, you can do a book tour. You can do a blog tour, which is essentially going from blog to blog or social media influencer to-, and have different people talk about your work or you go into their platform and talk about your work, your new book. Or you could run some kind of big, in-person party. Or you can do none of that. You could just tell a few people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So there&#8217;s a lot of ways to launch a book. And you get to decide what is the way that feels the best for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is called Trust Your Creative Heart Roadmap for a reason. It&#8217;s about doing what is sustainable and enjoyable to you. And when you start from a place of strength, then you can expand outward and try some new things. Try some things that might feel risky or a little bit scary and expand outward into new territory, but start with a way that, of launching your book into the world that feels good for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[03:41] Different Publishing Options<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> And I&#8217;m going to talk a little bit about publishing, how to publish a novel. Now there&#8217;s the nuts and bolts of how to do it, if you&#8217;re <\/span><b>self publishing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s how to find a publisher and how to find an agent, if that is what you want to pursue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then there&#8217;s also something in the middle called <\/span><b>hybrid publishing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where you pay a publisher who does some of the services for you, but you have a hundred percent control of the work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And ideally you should also have a hundred percent control of receiving the royalties, depending on the agreement that you have with that hybrid publisher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So there&#8217;s lots of options on which is all the different ways to publish. And you really need to figure out what is best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is not an episode in me going into all the nitty gritty and the pros and cons, but if you want more information on that, just let me know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I could make an episode on that as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So that&#8217;s what I wanted to say about publishing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[04:37] 2 Questions to Ask Yourself\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Now, as you consider launching and publishing your novel after you&#8217;ve written it, edited it, and got all the parts ready to do marketing, I want you to ask two questions of yourself. And if you&#8217;ve been following along in this series, these questions will be familiar. Two very simple questions. One is: what is working for you? As you entertain the publishing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have resources? Do you know people? Do you have lots of examples? Do you have the information that you need to make a decision on how you want to go ahead and publish?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then the second question is: what would you like more of?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually people at this phase, they would like more information. They would like to meet people who have done publishing in a few different kinds of ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I&#8217;m thinking of the publishing phase in the launch phase, I often would like more energy. So sometimes I need rest. That&#8217;s really what I need to be able to really do this phase well, because I&#8217;ve spent a lot of energy editing and revising the novel, getting all the marketing ready that often I&#8217;m very tired by the time I publish. And I&#8217;m independently published, meaning I self publish most of my work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So usually I need a break before I actually do any kind of official launch. And that&#8217;s quite all right. You can publish your work if you&#8217;re independently published or, and then take a break and then do all the marketing that you want to do for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[05:59] Final Thoughts and Resources\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>BETH BARANY:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> So that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to say in this episode on launching and publishing your novel.
