PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF BLOOD, SWEAT, TEARS, & IDEAS (THE UNIVERSE DOESN'T GIVE A SH*T ABOUT YOUR BOOK): "There's no BS in this book, just straightforward advice from an experienced indie author. Rachael does give a sh*t, and it's told in a pleasant and engaging manner." Petra van der Ploeg, author of the Somnia Series"An entertaining and informative addition to the self-publishing marketplace that demonstrates there is always space for another good book in the category. I particularly enjoyed the advice on marketing and pro motion, which was well-organised and filled with important and practical tips for both real-world and online pro motion."
