Searching for 1 reader

I found that I have to keep things in perspective. The below statistic is for Americans that go through the traditional publisher. Which means they get their editing and marketing professionally done.

Only 1-2% of American authors get accepted by a publisher

Of course most will publish independently. Then your chance of being successful is lower than 1%

I guess you have to define for yourself the meaning of success. I would settle for a few reads a month because I think this memoir can really resonate with a lot of women that suffer from mental illness.
