E N Joy: I absolutely prefer self-publishing
over traditional. As a matter of fact, I teach
self-publishing workshops. I’m an online course
instructor for the Path To Publishing online school:
www.path-to-publishing.thinkific.com. I’m what
the industry refers to as a hybrid author. I’m both
traditionally and self-published. But just a few
months ago I turned down a book deal. I’m going
the self-publishing route all the way!
Christine Pauls: You wear a lot of hats in this
industry. Do you enjoy one more than the other?
Or are all equally gratifying?
E N Joy: I think what I enjoy most is teaching
other authors how to tell and sale their books by
turning their book into a business. I do so through
my Act Like an Author, Think Like a Business
endeavor: https://www.youtube.com/channel/

Shannan Harper: With all of the hats you wear,
how do you find the time to write?
E N Joy: I make the time, and when I can’t
make the time, I use whaterver time I have. If
my children have events they need dropped off
at, instead of dropping them off, going home
or running errands and then returning to pick
them up, I’ll sit out in the car with my laptop. If
I show up early to an appointment or get out of
an appointment early, I’ll sit in my car and utilize
those extra few minutes on my laptop.
Christine Pauls: How many books have you
written under Joylynn Jossell and E.N. Joy?
E N Joy: I have 18 books on my www.joylynnjossel.
