You Don’t Need More Publishing Advice. You Need One Goal

October 12, 2026•1 min read

You’ve finished your manuscript, and now there’s a pile of decisions waiting for you. The editor. The cover. The price. Kindle Unlimited or wide. The launch. Ask about any of them in a Facebook group and you’ll get three confident answers, and none of them were built for your book.

In this episode, I talk about why that keeps happening, the Kindle Unlimited decision I got wrong with my first books, and the one thing to work out before you make any of these calls.

In this episode:

  • Why so much publishing advice contradicts itself, even when everyone giving it is right

  • What happened when I put my first books in Kindle Unlimited, and why I pulled them out

  • How the same manuscript can need a different cover, price and launch depending on what you want it to do

  • The question to ask about every decision in your pile, from the editor to the launch

Free training: Learn how to set a clear goal for your book, and which decision to make first, in my free one-hour training, The 3 Decisions That Turn a Finished Manuscript Into a Career. It runs live every month. You’ll leave knowing what you want this book to do and which question to answer first. Grab your seat at serenadepublishing.com/training
