Publishing without proofreading is never a good idea Jasmine. I ditched it!

Hello,

I recently published my first book on Amazon—both in Ebook and paperback editions. It’s free for those who have Kindle Unlimited. I would be thrilled if you could take a moment to check it out. I worked on it for a long time, and my friends and I put a lot of effort into it. Now, I’m trying to figure out how to promote it, as I don’t have a large budget. Thank you in advance for your attention!

What would you do...?

...when it turns out that what you wanted and aspired to is not what you imagined?
...when you can't discern the right path in a maze of options?
... when all the choices you made in the belief that they were right and necessary, even in an attempt to help, were wrong and actually hurt someone?
...when uncovering the truth and reconciling with your conscience means hurting someone?

A novel blending elements from various genres, interwoven with social and philosophical themes that explore the enigmatic nature of humanity. The characters, driven by circumstances and personal ambitions, reach the limits of their mental resilience and belief in the healing of their emotional wounds. The fates of these unyielding, complex personas are entwined in a dynamic and multilayered plot. Drawn by their desires towards a stormy confrontation with a domino effect, each faces difficult, life-affirming choices and undergoes their own personal catharsis....

I’m starting to wonder how self-published authors manage to promote their books when they can’t compete with the budgets, knowledge, experience, and contacts of traditional publishers. Do we have a chance to reach readers?
