Many authors battling the question of whether to contact a traditional publishing house to get
their book published, or strike out on their own and self publish it.
A lot of authors today are making the choice to self-publish rather than pursue a traditional deal
because they believe they can produce and market their books better, giving them a better profit
in the end.
Others believe that there is a certain amount of prestige in getting a traditional publishing
contract.
If it s the prestige you are looking for then you probably don t want to self-publish your
book.
If you just want to get your work out and into the hands of the public, while avoiding the
rejection letters, then self-publishing is in your best interest.
Another thing you need to consider when deciding how to publish your book, is how much
control are you willing to give up.
When you sign on with a traditional publisher you give up
a certain amount of control that you have over the editorial and creative content.
