Happy Pride Month, day 21, books

[sonia]

21. I'm proud of my books. I'm proud of having written an article every month for 14 years, and I'm proud of sticking with the process of turning them into books. That process is much longer and harder than one would think, starting from existing articles. I'm proud of doing the design and layout myself, and of paying people to help with copy editing and cover design.

I'm proud of sticking with the process of turning them into ebooks when each print book was complete, which is also much longer and harder than one would think, especially with illustrations.

I still want to figure out how to market them, because there's more and more trauma out there, and the books are a way to help. This summer I might have more time to update my website and explore what it would take to create audio books.
