Maggie Bailey
I have just self-published a book on Amazon, “A Happier Life in 9 Habits”, details below. It is a self-help book, not very long, only 67 pages, describing how I overcame mental health problems such as depression which had plagued me for many, many years. In the book I outline the exact tools I have used to recover from mental illness. It’s been a really long, hard slog getting it published; writing it was the easy part, but figuring out how to use the self-publishing platform on Amazon was incredibly hard – it is not user-friendly at all! So it has taken me about 6 months or more to get to this point. I was trying my best to get it out before Xmas, so am really glad I succeeded.
Please check out my book anyway, if you get a chance. It is only £7.99 – bargain! Maybe a good stocking-filler Xmas present for someone? Here’s the link below to Amazon:
Congratulations on getting your book published, the topic is a very useful one as so many people are struggling with various mental health issues.
Thank you tzwrites. That is what I thought as well, that this topic would be quite in-demand, given the state of the world these days and the prevalence of mental health problems!
Thanks for sharing this, Maggie. I hope you;ve got to a place where you can see a way forward. I’ve just added your book to my trolley, and I’ll have it before Christmas. There’s a few more things I need to add in the next couple of days.
Oh thank you so much Norman Darlo! Hope you enjoy it. Please review it for me, once you have read it, as that will be a real help to me.
Congratulations. Good luck with selling it.
Thank you Fortune. I am busy promoting it now.
Good work getting your book published on Amazon. I didn’t find it very difficult, I have a few books on Amazon, they sell a bit, not enough to quit the day job though.
Thank you Rachael. It was my first ventrure into self-publishing and I am not very technically-minded. Now I know how to do it, hopefully the next one I publish will be easier.
I find publishing on Amazon quite simple. Did you use their tools?
Really Ghostwriter? Yes, I did use their tools, but still didn’t find them very helpful. And Support didn’t always give me the right advice either! I know other people have struggled with Kindle Direct Publishing too. Maybe some find it easy, but we are all different. I am not very technically-minded, that is one thing.
Is myself is the book title ?
I don’t really understand the question Witty Feeds. “A Happier Life in 9 Habits” is the title; it hasn’t shown up in the link I shared to Amazon – there is just a button saying “Buy Now”, which is annoying. I hoped there might be a kind of snapshot of the cover of the book.
Good luck with your book. I really hope you do well with it.
Thank you so much CoffeeQueen.
