Readers want to escape, live vicariously through the characters in a novel, and experience places and adventures they might never have the opportunity to outside the pages of a good book. Learn how to give them what they want.

So you’ve written “The End.” Now what do you do? This step can be the difference in failure or success for the Indie Author. Go to WordWyse!
