It is time to deal with the publishing elephant within the room.
I have been requested this query many occasions since launching my debut novel: why did I self-publish?
Why ignore conventional publishing?
It is an enormous query—properly, two questions. Many writers really feel divided about it.
There isn’t a proper or improper publishing path, however I selected self-publishing as a result of it made probably the most sense (to me).
As a substitute of hiding my determination, I’ll lay all of it on the road for you. Right here is why I picked self-publishing over conventional (and why, at this stage of my profession, I’ll make the identical alternative any day of the week).
It is taken me a very long time to get to the place I’m now — working full-time as a author and producing novel-length manuscripts. I’m nearing forty, however I’ve nonetheless received quite a lot of life left to stay.
I am able the place I need to begin my publishing journey. I am not curious about ready for a writer to get on board.
