Self-publishing remains a tricky subject for new and tested authors. Many advocates of self-publishing look at traditional publishing as elitist and abusive of authors.
Self-publishing, on the other hand, is at the forefront of digital innovation, offers unlimited freedom and control, and pays better (at least, on a per-book basis).
Self-publishing is the best way to start a writing career, regardless of what kind of writer you are or what kinds of books you write. Some people in traditional publishing still look at self-published books as the work of writers who can’t make it otherwise. This misses the point: Writers now have options. Where once it was traditional publishing or nothing, now there are multiple paths to publication and success.

Which Publishing Model is Right for You?Self-publishers must not only do everything an author does, they must do everything a publisher does. For authors who like being their own bosses, that may be ideal. For those who aren’t comfortable with the idea of running their own businesses, traditional publishing may be a better option.
