Another note on this topic - Lately I have been hearing horror stories of authors who have signed with one of these small publishing houses that are cropping up. Makes me certain, self-publishing is the way to go. You can hire editors, beta readers, formatters, cover artists, even publicists. And you're in control, you're in charge.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14411571823092477877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078233902619883152.post-7504503258080695382012-04-18T11:26:24.887-05:002012-04-18T11:26:24.887-05:00Smashing post, thanks.

It reinforces my own reasons for going into self-publishing, and will no doubt give heart on the bad days when I think 'what am I doing'? <br />I strongly believe that the audience should decide what they want to read, and the broader choice they have, across multiple platforms, the better. In addition, why should we fetter our creativity to what the gatekeepers consider is right? <br />JackieJackie Trippier Holthttp://www.jackietrippierholt.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6078233902619883152.post-76325206977050276382012-04-18T09:11:31.146-05:002012-04-18T09:11:31.146-05:00Thanks for this eye-opening post.

I found it very informative and, although I had hoped to go the traditional route, I too have been gearing up to take the Indie self-publishing route. As a published songwriter, I well know the rejection letters, and I proudly kept them all! I think the hardest thing for an author to realize is that the publishing/reading world is different now, thanks to e-readers. Gives us all hope! L.Leander, AuthorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
