There are endless ways to approach self publishing so I’ve started an author spotlight series to help indie authors connect and share stories.

This author spotlight is part of Self Publishing 101.
You can find the rest of the course and resources for independent publishing below.
Happy to be a part of what you're doing, Sarah!
I agree with everything you say, Susan, and your journey sounds very similar to mine, though you are a long way further down the road.
When you mentioned the lack of good advice online I wondered if you had discovered ALLi, the Alliance of Independent Authors. For a reasonable sum, you can be a member and the advice is brilliant. There's a forum to ask and answer questons as well as the podcasts, books and blogs and every time I was stuck I got fantastic advice there. It might be something that Sarah could pass on to her students too, if she's not already done so.
Best of luck with the current edit: I'll be your cheerleader!
