About

Welcome to "Rough Drafts Welcome," produced by Salt & Sage Books and hosted by the delightful duo, Erin and Sachiko. Dive into the intricate world of authoring with us, where mistakes aren't just expected – they're celebrated. From the profound value of beta reading to the delicate art of sensitivity reading, we journey through every facet of writing books. Our tagline says it all: "You – We can mess up here." So, whether you're an author searching for guidance, an editor hoping to deepen your craft, or simply a book lover seeking behind-the-scenes insights, this is your friendly space. Grab your coffee, put on those headphones, and join our conversation – where every draft, rough or refined, is welcome.

Check out the previous episode for indie publishing part 1.

Sachiko has questions about indie publishing, and Erin has (some of) the answers! Last episode, we went over how to write to market, what exactly it means to write to market, and how to find an audience and category that are hungry for your writing.

In this episode, we move from writing the piece through publishing, including all the ins and outs of ISBNs, buying covers (and where to find them), what edits you can and should pursue for your project, formatting your book, and uploading all of it to Amazon.

If you'd like help with any of that, Salt and Sage Books would love to give you a hand! Learn more about us and book through our website: https://www.saltandsagebooks.com
