#SelfPublishOrGetPublished

We often hear the dilemma of self publishers: should I self publish or should I find a publisher for my book?

So many make the mistake of hiring a vanity publisher (means that you pay someone to publish your book - THEY own the files), thinking that they are self publishing. 

When you self publish, you SELF publish. That means that you hire your own graphic designer, editor and printer. You maintain complete control and YOU own the files that allow you to change publishers whenever you choose to do so. Anything else, and you are just living in self deception.

If you want to own the book and the profits, YOU must be the publisher.

No matter which route you choose, YOU have to market the book (see our course at www.inktreemarketing.com). 

If you choose to be published by someone else, find an agent who specializes in your genre.
