Why I Self-Published My Debut Contemporary Christian Romance Novel

Updated: Jun 24, 2023

Hello everyone,


I hope you are all doing well by God's grace. Some of you may know that I published my debut novel--The One Who Knows Me (a young adult contemporary Christian romance) on the 10th of September 2021. I had initially tried to publish this novel traditionally and I actually queried an agent and an editor but unfortunately got rejections.

After taking some time out to pray, do research and seek advice from family and friends, I finally made the decision to independently publish my debut novel. I recently shared a video on my YouTube channel talking about all the reasons why I decided to independently publish my novel and why I will independently publish the other two books in the series. You can watch the video above and if you're an indie author, I'd love to know why you decided to publish independently too.


If you are yet to check out my debut novel, the ebook is currently on sale until the 4th of March and you can get your copy here.

If you live in the UK, you can also get a signed paperback copy by clicking here.


Book 2 in this series is called The One Who Loves Me and it will be releasing on the 21st of May 2022. If you would love to be part of the book launch team, help me share the cover, promote on social media and also get a free ebook, then click here. You can also add the book to Goodreads here.


If you don’t want to be part of the book launch team but would still like to support me by following my author journey, subscribe to my free author newsletter here.

Thank you so much for reading

God bless you
