Hi all you jungle dwellers, I’m back at the Ape’s tree house today to talk about my self-publishing checklist.

I recently finished a manuscript, and am on the verge of finishing another one. (It’s March at the time of this writing) I believe in the traditional advice of putting it away for a time, before I begin the editing process. During this time, I like to read and can work on the other book.

My personal process also involves ordering a few promotional posters. These feature my spokesmodel, Lisa the robot girl. (Yes for Lisa’s legion of fans, there is new artwork on the way.)
