Self-Publishing

I just put The Mustard Prince in the Condiment Kingdom on Amazon.com. I really didn’t plan on self-publishing to this extent in hopes that I would be able to get a literary agent and eventually be published through traditional means. I’m still sending query letters out to literary agents, but I have only gotten rejections so far.

Right now, I’m struggling to find a sort of best practices for self-publishing. I have no idea how to get my name out there. Admittedly, it has been frustrating and discouraging getting rejections from literary agents and not feeling that I’m really moving forward with self-publishing. 

I’ll put a lot of content on Amazon like short story collections, The Land of the Wooden Statues, The Wilderness, and if I get around to finishing it this year, The Mustard Prince in the Beverage Kingdom. While I shouldn’t expect things to go quickly right from the start, I’d like to have some sort of gameplan as far as self-publishing goes moving forward.
