|
|
- Anyone can do it. You don't need acceptance from a publisher or anyone else.
- The author controls content, title, cover & interior design, price, distribution
channels, marketing, and timing.
- There will be a much faster publication schedule.
- It's easy to make changes along the way.
- The author will enjoy higher royalties.
- There will be no possibility of excess inventory if using POD (print on demand).
- The author does all the work himself or jobs out the editing, design, production,
marketing, and PR.
- The author pays all up-front costs.
- The book will likely get less exposure.
- There is potential for publishing a poor quality product.
- Self-publishing still holds a stigma for some.
