First time posting on here. I've read a lot of the thread, it's all great information. I've written my first book and I am currently editing it. It's a murder mystery set in London in the 1930s. I am confident it fits in its genre and I'm intending to pay for a professional to make the cover. I can't afford an editor or proofreader (without sacrificing significant money from my family's holiday budget) but I'm pretty confident I can get my book out with only a handful of errors at most. I plan to publish via KDP. I wrote the book in two and a half months. I'm looking to write a book every two months (with a little wiggle room) so 5 or 6 a year. I aim to have a catalogue of at least ten books by the end of next year. I'm incredibly intimidated by the marketing and promotional aspects of self publishing, but whilst I find it a little stressful I am enjoying the writing (I'm part way through book 2 already). I work part time and I'm not hugely concerned with making money in the short term but I would like all the work to have been worth it in the long run. I wouldn't need to make a lot of money a month to be happy, enough to buy groceries would feel like a success to me. My question is - (based on the proviso my books have good covers, blurbs and few errors) is it reasonable to just concentrate on writing for a couple of years and then worry about building up an audience once I have a reasonably sized catalogue?
