That's great for you. But the average full time author of books in the UK earned below minimum wage a few years ago, and that's fairly typical for developed countries. It's a profession that very heavily skews towards a tiny proportion of top earners.

Surely you realize that this is not at all the typical experience for independent writers, though.

    It's not the typical experience for traditionally published writers either.

That's awesome. As an author myself, I'd love to hear more.

Also note, that you are an outlier. (Congrats!) Folks listening to you should not expect those results.

    Pretty sure it's just fantasy, it's easy to find his book from his comments. He has <5k followers and minimal engagement on any social media platform, his book does not have great reviews nor many of them on goodreads(150 reviews for a book that would have had to sell almost 25k copies in a month to get those numbers).

    Any conversation I've found in related subreddits seems negative.

Don’t tell me, if I buy your book I can learn how to do it too?

What books did you write? And what do you mean by "analog publishing?"
