    Next chapter explores religion & its impact on the fantastical societies. The author writes: “Religion need not overwhelm a story or characters. The deeper an understanding of it you have, the more naturally it will fit in as a part of your fictional world’s backdrop.”

    Yes, you absolutely can have a career, even make a living, as an indie (self-) published author. How? Treat it as what it is: a business. Have a business plan. Gather the requisite capital. Employ the right professionals. Be a PUBLISHER, however small.
