You published the book.

Many authors enter self-publishing believing the hardest part is finishing the manuscript. Then the book goes live, and a different reality begins: disappointing sales, marketing pressure, financial strain, silence, comparison, lack of visibility, and the quiet question no one wants to admit out loud:
Was any of this worth it?
In Wait One Minute: 15 Hard Truths the Self-Publishing Business Doesn’t Tell Authors, author and publisher Dr. Keyimani Alford pulls back the curtain on the emotional and psychological side of authorship most people avoid discussing.
This is not another book about formatting manuscripts or uploading files. It is an honest, practical, and deeply human guide to the emotional, financial, strategic, and psychological realities many self-published authors face after launch day.
Drawing from lived experience, years in publishing, research, and work with independent authors, Dr. Alford explores the hard truths many writers discover too late, including:
Unlike publishing books that focus only on mechanics, Wait One Minute addresses the side of publishing that affects an author’s confidence, mindset, strategy, and resilience.
If you have ever asked yourself, “Why didn’t this go the way I expected?” This book was written for you.
As a companion to Self-Publishing from Scratch, Wait One Minute helps authors navigate not only how to publish, but how to emotionally and strategically survive what comes after the book goes live.
