YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING, RIGHT?

I see your point and empathize with your cleverly disguised angst. As a traditionally published writer, I do have mixed feelings about self publishing. I think it's a wonderful thing that anyone can now publish their own books. But I've seen so many problems we lovers of the written word are having.

For many the cost is high however they expect that it will all be paid back after they get it out to the public. But that is the second problem. Once published they don't know what to do to get it out where it will make them money. The thing they need to realize is that when you publish your own book, YOU are the publisher. And you need to do what all traditional publishers do; that is if you know what to do, which is NEVER the case. Some really excellent book printers do give self publishers quite a bit of help, but it doesn't compare to what a traditional publisher does for it's authors.

Are you one of those writers whose work is exceptional? You very well may be. Should a traditional publisher take your work? It probably should. But if you have or plan to self publish then find the best rated book printer who will give you some extras to help with getting your book out there. And then make a marketing plan and do everything possible to promote your book.
