It’s March! Spring is in the air—sometimes. After the warmest February on record here in Chicago, we had wild temperature swings. We went from 70 degrees to windchills in the teens in a single day. (With a tornado in between!)

Chicago’s weather is a lot like publishing: full of turbulence, unpredictable, sometimes stormy.

This month’s Powerful Story newsletter will give you the scoop on self-publishing. Self-publishing has opened the opportunity to publish to thousands of people. It can be wonderful—but it can be heartbreaking if you get sucked in by nefarious vanity publishers who will take your money but not actually help you produce a quality book.

Over the next four weeks, we’re going to cover some self-publishing basics. You can find a lot more on this topic on my blog. I’ve taught workshops and classes on self-publishing—so I know you have questions!

Please share any questions you have about self-publishing in the comments, so we can learn as a community! I’ll select a few of the most frequently asked questions to answer in an upcoming issue of this newsletter. But for today, a few basics.
