The Real Reason Independent Writers Are Quitting

The Real Reason Independent Writers Are Quitting
Why are so many independent writers giving up? In this video, I take an honest look at the emotional and financial toll of self-publishing. From editing costs to marketing burnout, we explore why passion alone isn't enough—and why the advice to "just put your art out there" is often out of touch with reality.

If you’re an indie author, aspiring writer, or someone navigating the complex world of creative work, this is the conversation we need to have. Let’s talk honestly about what it really takes—and why it’s okay to care about sustainability.
