Self-Publishing
The decision to publish your work might seem straightforward. But there are many factors to consider before making the leap.
A former boss of mine was a stickler for formatting, especially the elimination of widows and orphans in our publications.
I humored her but never really saw the point of rewriting text ten times over to account for single words on a line or the odd page break.
What started as an irritation quickly became a habit. Now, thanks to her insistence on this basic premise, these publishing "rules" are ingrained in my production cycle.
Still, with so much of my work being digital, widows and orphans were not on my mind until I prepped my first book for publication.
