#SelfPublish

Self-publish. What a misunderstood term!

So many "self-publishers" really do not understand what the term means, so they find a vanity publisher to do the work for them. They pay thousands of dollars to a company whose business is to pump out a formula-style book for them and to "market" the book on the vanity publisher's website. Really?!!

Well, you get what you pay for usually but in this case, you might as well take your money and set fire to it.

Self-publish means that YOU are the publisher. YOU hire your own editor, graphic designer and printer. YOU take ownership of the project. YOU assume responsibility for selling the book. 

YOU are the business owner - the PUBLISHER. 

If you take shortcuts, you will be short-changed.

It's just that simple.
