Glad you found it helpful! Good luck with the marketing too. My post yesterday from Jane Friedman's site might be helpful to you on that subject.

Wow, that's a lot of stats, thanks Phil 👍 I'm one of those that would recommend trying the indie way too. But yes, tons of patience is needed as it does take long, there's a loadful of books on the market to compete with - for one's book tobe seen at all - and that marketing sure takes a s"*£# of ones time... But it is all an enlightening process, and one learns a lot too, meets great folks along the way, and is decently prepared for one day if accepted by the trad world... 😊
