In 2014, a few friends and I had a great idea to start our own little publishing imprint called eVw Press. It was a learning curve in business, marketing and publishing, all of which pushed me into areas to which I was completely unfamiliar and even uncomfortable—which I thoroughly enjoy.

However, over the years, several things happened.

The landscape of publishing has changed immensely, making it both easier to launch a book to market and difficult to get it discovered. It’s a constant game of keeping up with the latest trends (something even standard publishing is failing at this moment) while also trying to keep up with other parts of my life.

My life also became a lot busier, with great things, compounding the issue of keeping up with the trends and keeping the partnership running in the background. And like any business, there were also some difficulties behind the scenes, causing me to re-evaluate my priorities.

Hence, on good terms, we made the decision to dissolve the partnership and move on.

What that means for my books right now is they are in the process of finding a new home, which actually works out quite well as I’ve been meaning to make adjustments to them anyway. I’ll make a note when they’re finally up again.

It also means I get to focus on the one thing I enjoyed about this adventure in the first place: writing.

Since that decision, I’ve gone to bed more peacefully, affirming the choice made was the right one. And the beauty is there’s always going to be something up ahead that will push and stretch me once more.

Moving on!
