SPW #8: Consolidating
I have decided to make Self-Publishing Weekly a weekly feature on The Minimalist Author HQ instead of it’s own publication.
“Why are you creating two publications but talking about the same topic?” - My Wife
I have been sharing more about what I am doing with my writing with my wife since it has been something of mystery to her for years. Not that she doesn’t know I am writing, but that she doesn’t know what I am working on at any given time.
And when I was sharing what I am doing over here on Substack, she looked at me like I was a crazy person. Why don’t you consolidate some of these things down so you can focus more.
My wife is a genius.
The more I thought about it, I know it’s a good idea. Especially since I am not sending out daily mini-newsletters, there is no point to keeping the publication separate. In fact, I’m sure some of you thought this was annoying too.
So, today, marks day one of the merger. Tomorrow, the independent Self-Publishing Weekly will be no more. And from now on, you will be getting your weekly emails with quick hitters articles and books being shared here!
Simplicity is Key
While I share often that simplicity is key, I sometimes forget this reality myself. So, to help all of us jumpstart this reality, I wanted to share some articles on this to help us change our mindsets.

I'm publishing the 4 books I have that are 'Almost Finished' : )
Always wondered why they were separate… on a much smaller scale I have done the same thing combining my two publications (announcement coming after rebranding in July).
