just introducing myself :)

[Phnx2405]

Hello everyone.

I literally just became a member. I've suffered depression for over 20 years now but am in a relatively positive place and have been for a couple years now. (the odd relapse not withstanding)

Anyway, the reason I joined is simple. I owe what I have to depression and those who have supported me. Out of respect for that I want to help out as much as I can.

I am in the process of publishing a book of poetry. Writing became my way of expressing and trying to comprehend the motives of my dark mistress. I have excessively low expectations of the book selling volumes upon volumes. Yet I'm going to donate 25% of my personal royalties to BB.

Does anyone have any tips?

Hey Phnx (is that a shortened version of Phoenix? No need to answer if you don't feel comfortable)

Welcome! I have zero helpful tips about publishing, haha, but we have a poetry corner in the BB Social Zone. If you wanted to post some of your poems there, I'd love to read them and (if you want) provide some feedback.

Perhaps that would help? I don't know.

But welcome and glad to have you on board.

James
