300 South Media Group was started with indie writers and authors in mind. Being a self-published author myself, I understand just how much of an undertaking creating a platform for your writing can be, how much goes into promoting yourself, and just how tedious the process is of creating a professional book to be proud of.
300 South follows the 3 pillars of perfection: Platform, Process, and Promo

tion. If you are a writer, no matter if you are just starting out on your journey or you are about to hit publish on a manuscript, 300 South can help.

Your ideal reader isn’t everyone
Your storytelling isn’t for everyone
Your book isn’t for everyone

And in case it isn't clear, as an author, you’re not for everyone.

And that's all OK. You will find your following or better yet, they will find you.

Write on!

I wanted to put this out there and gather your feedback. If I started an indie writer podcast and accompanying YouTube channel would you tune in/listen/watch?

Instagram updated its post sizes in 2025 to prioritize a 4:5 portrait ratio (1080 x 1350 pixels) over square posts. This change was made because most content on the platform is now vertical.

New post sizes

Square: 1080 x 1080 pixels (1:1 aspect ratio)

Landscape/horizontal: 1080 x 566 pixels (16:9 aspect ratio)

Portrait/vertical: 1080 x 1350 pixels (4:5 aspect ratio)

Reels: 1080 x 1920 pixels (9:16 aspect ratio)

Okay fellow writers, tough question.

What do you think is the biggest mistake you have made as a writer?

01/23/2025

If you want to know how many scammers are on Facebook, spend a day in a handful of publishing or indie writer groups.

How frustrating it is to see countless writers being separated from their money and getting far less than expected.

I cant emphasize enough, the importance of engaging and building a relationship with your existing audience rather than focusing on external factors like algorithms for not reaching a broader audience.

Nurturing your current followers or readers is key to growth and success, rather than laying blame on lack of reach to the uncontrollable elements of social media.

Don't worry too much about finding your voice.

Writers write. That's the real focus--the voice will find you.

The problem with book marketing pages or groups is everybody is in the same boat.

Books need to be promoted to readers not other authors.

The majority of members or followers are fellow writers all trying to do the same thing.

So, basically it's like screaming into the void. Which is just a waste of your time and resources.

Glitter and Darkness: poetic musings exploring the beauty found within the broken
📚 mybook.to/glitteranddarkness
⬇️⬇️⬇️
Glitter and Darkness is a breathtaking collection of poetic prose that lays bare the duality of life—the radiant beauty of joy and love, and the profound depths of pain and hardship. Through raw, unfiltered reflections, this collection invites readers to navigate the intricate landscape of human emotions, where resilience often blooms in the shadows, and light shines brightest when emerging from darkness.

Each piece resonates with universal truths: the fierce, protective love of family, the bittersweet ache of memory, the scars left by betrayal, and the quiet, powerful hope of healing. With its blend of tender vulnerability and unshakable strength, Glitter and Darkness is a tribute to the moments that shape us, both the ones that lift us up and the ones that threaten to break us.

This collection serves as a mirror, reflecting the resilience of the human spirit. It offers a comforting reminder that pain, though heavy, can become a vessel for growth, and that even in life’s darkest corners, there is beauty to be found. It is a celebration of survival, of embracing the glitter even as we navigate the darkness.

For those seeking a connection to the raw, unpolished truth of the human condition, Glitter and Darkness offers a deeply cathartic experience—an opportunity to feel seen, understood, and inspired by the triumph of hope over despair.
***
Please note: Glitter and Darkness addresses sensitive topics, including s/a, narcissistic abuse, childhood trauma, mental health struggles, infidelity, and loss

There's nothing wrong with having family and friends buy your book.

As far as reviews... Amazon doesn't always like when family or friends leave reviews and if they can prove you are connected, they may reject the review, but it won't get you banned.

As long as the review is about the book and doesn't go into mentioning "my friend" or "my family member" it usually is OK.

The best way for friends and family to leave a book review is to post an honest review on a platform like Goodreads, where they can share their genuine thoughts without raising concerns about bias.

They can also share their review with their social media friends and followers.

Wherever a review is left, it's an opportunity for would be readers to learn about your book.

As a writer there are days the words write me. Some days they're from passion. Some days they're from pain. But they're never without meaning. #writerswrite #writerslife

Some think that if they write a book, that automatically makes them an author. Well, technically it does, but there is a big difference between being an author and a published author. A true author takes pride in their work and only wants to show the best to the world.

300 South's founder, Jay Long, saw a lack of one-on-one interaction for those seeking assistance when self-publishing their books. He noticed far too much misinformation being made readily available to would-be authors and companies trying to capitalize on the trust of inexperienced self-publishers.

The vision of 300 South is to guide and mentor determined writers towards the goal of being self-published. The initial consultation will explore your personal needs. Through that first correspondence we can help determine the next step along your self-publishing path. A thorough follow-up will help decide the best course of action for you, and your book and just how 300 South fits into that plan to assist you in achieving your dreams.

Our team loves to see the dreams of authors on a path to self-publishing, become a reality. Because not every journey to self-publishing is the same, 300 South takes every project on an author-by-author basis. There are no cookie-cutter solutions - overpriced packages - or selling of services you don't need.
