Is self-publishing worth it?
When it comes to publishing a book, there’s no right or wrong way. It all boils down to your goals as an author. There were three main deciding factors that influenced my decision to self-publish: the time factor, creative control, and the opportunity to showcase my marketing expertise.
Self-publishing is faster
I decided to self-publish my book because I wanted to write and publish it in 2023, which is possible with self-publishing. Traditional publishing would have required me to go through the process of writing a book proposal, meeting with acquisitions editors, and potentially waiting for two years before getting published.
Self-publishing gives you creative control
Self-publishing allows authors the freedom to make their own decisions, from cover design to content choices. Traditional publishing may involve compromise as the publisher has a say in various aspects of the book.
Marketing a self-published book
I also felt confident in my marketing skills and saw self-publishing as an opportunity to showcase my expertise in marketing my own book. Plus, I’m able to take what I’ve learned and share it with all of you!
If you’re an aspiring author or curious about the publishing industry, I encourage you to listen to the episode for more insights.
