SPTT 093 – Switching from Self-Publishing to Hybrid

Episode 093

Released on: September 1, 2025

On this episode of the Self-Publishing Tips & Tricks podcast, we sit down with children’s middle grade mystery/fantasy author Catharina Steel to explore her journey from self-publishing to hybrid publishing. Catharina opens up about rewriting her debut novel, learning the craft through trial and error, and overcoming early doubts about legitimacy in the publishing world. We also dive into how her love of the outdoors inspired her magical forest setting, and why she chose to partner with Spark Press for her latest release. This is an encouraging and thoughtful conversation about resilience, publishing choices, and trusting your instincts as a writer.
