Self-publishing used to be the last resort when an author had
exhausted all other channels. Self-publishing meant that your book
wasn't good enough for a traditional publisher. Even if you knew
your sales would be virtually nil, you self-published because your
vanity required it; you self-published so that you could say that
you had published a book, even if it never sold a single copy.
Since the e-book explosion, self-publishing no longer carries the
stigma it did a few years ago; it is no longer considered
equivalent to vanity publishing. If you choose to go independent,
your luck is that self-publishing has become a whole lot easier in
the last few years since the advent of the digital age.
Self-publishing is no longer a last resort, but a conscious choice
that comes with many advantages over traditional publishing. The
technology available today has made it possible to self-publish in
both electronic and paperback versions, even if you don't have a
penny to invest in the process. The electronic book market is
growing, and publishers have traditionally paid lousy royalties on
electronic books. Despite your lack of publishing experience, you
might have a better chance making money if you self-publish rather
than pursue a traditional publisher. But knowledge is power, and it
is crucial to educate yourself on the process and be aware of the
factors that might influence your decision. Going Indie: 25 Things
You Should Know Before Self-Publishing Your Book, offers a number
of tips that will raise your awareness of the benefits of
self-publishing over traditional publishing. To learn about
traditional publishing, look for Confessions of a Published Author:
47 Truths About What Can Go Right and Wrong When Selling Your Book
to a Traditional Publisher, also by Martina Sprague.
