Nice to make your acquaintance and I look forward to reading your work and getting advice as well. I see that you have e published. Am trying to figure out what to do myself as I have a book of poetry done and not sure to self publish and if so who to use ie. lulu, create space etc....but I do have a company that will market product once done.
