To self-publish or not to self-publish… That is the question.

Posted in Business, Financial, Helpful on October 23rd, 2007

Be careful when you decide to self-publish. Many bookstores refuse to sell books that are published in this manner. Self-publishing allows an author to put just about anything into print. Many bookstore owners take offense to the content of certain self-published books. Self-publishing eliminates the need for editing. Bookstore owners may refuse to put your book on their shelves due to mistakes in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Another common reason why bookstore owners may refuse to sell your book… the cover itself. Self-publishers do not normally spend a lot of time or money on illustrating the book. Bookstore owners do not want to offer books that are not appealing.
