Book Spotlight: Invisible by L.A. Remenicky


Guest Post – Going Indie by L.A. Remenicky

The decision to put my writing out there for the world to see was not an easy one. I never thought I would actually write a book until I was introduced to NaNoWriMo in 2012 by a friend. I signed up even though I really had no idea what I was doing and I thought there was little chance that I would actually succeed. On a borrowed laptop, my journey began as I started typing the story I saw in my head.
When NaNoWriMo was over I had over 50,000 words written and I decided to keep going and start editing. Let me tell you, editing a NaNo book is not for the faint of heart, it’s hard work. I found some beta readers and received some good comments so I kept going; more editing and the search began for a cover and the perfect title. Most would have gone the traditional publishing route, sending off query letters and waiting for their big break.
Me, I decided to jump in with both feet and publish Saving Cassie myself. I found a premade cover, found an editor willing to do a free “final edit”, and I started researching how to publish on Amazon. I told myself it was because I didn’t want to give a publisher a percentage of my royalties but to be brutally honest, I was scared to send my book off and have them tell me it wasn’t any good. If my book didn’t sell I could say I just didn’t have the marketing skills to get it noticed or I didn’t have the money to buy the right advertising.
Well, Saving Cassie sold a few copies and received some good reviews (and some not so good reviews) so I kept writing. It’s as if writing that first book opened up something in my head. Story ideas pop into my head all the time; I’ve even started carrying a notebook with me at all times as I never know when inspiration will strike. I guess “going indie” was the right decision for me. Now, I’m just trying to get my books noticed.
My second novel, Invisible, was released on January 31.This time I paid for a full edit and I am so glad that I did. Invisible is so much better and I learned a lot from my editor. Writing really is a journey. My goal is that each book will be better than the last.
The moral of my story is: find the way that works for you. Whether it’s writing, painting, or whatever – don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it. This proud indie author says “Go for it!”
