I’m on the third draft of a novel and have been toying with the idea of self-publishing. Your article has given me a strong push in that direction. Maybe I won’t even try for an agent!

I think it's a great time to be a writer. Aside from the various ways to get published and the choice of whether or not to choose traditional representation, there are also plenty of ways to practice writing. The blogosphere offers fests and hops for writing in new genres and trying different voices. Words inspired by pictures, illustrations and word prompts. With these come comments and thoughts from readers which is almost a critique group. It's a great time to be a writer! A2Z Mommy and What’s In Between

Another great piece. Agreed, that platform building is a must these days for self-pubbers.

Thank you for your timely post, Kristen. In the past couple of weeks, I have self published my poetry book under my own LLC, had a very successful book signing in my hometown in the Hudson River Valley in NY and I am almost out of my first print run. I have two more book signings coming up within the next month and a return book signing to the Hudson River Valley in October. Do I call this a success? You bet I do!

It’s all true! And yet, it can lead to one particular tricky situation. I’m doing okay as a self-published author – not in the big leagues, but staying ahead of the curve. Now I have the possibility of becoming traditionally published… so what do I do? I know the potential is there for me to push the envelope with self-publishing, to make real money whilst staying in control of my material and my reader-relationships. BUT – there’s no doubt, a traditional publisher has greater reach than me. Bookshops (the few that remain), book fairs and rights deals… they can attract those situations better than I ever could, even if I hired someone to do this sort of thing for me. That part of the industry is still sewn up by the old guard.
So what to do? Go with the legacy, and hope my indie success will inspire them to put some effort behind what they do for me? Or forge on on my own, with all the freedom – but never quite sure if I’ll ever reach the next level…
Y’see? Tricky one!
