Iโm Self-Publishing my first Book
I am self-publishing my first book. Probably also my second and my third, and so on. A lot of people ask me why? Well, let me explain!
Writing an amazing book is hard either way. To be traditionally published, your book should be amazing. But thatโs not the only prerequisite. Your book should be in a genre or about a topic that is โhotโ right now, or is such a marketing magnet, that it sells itself. If the publishing house doubts whether it will sell, they wonโt take it. They need to have a certain โguaranteeโ that theyโll be able to make money from the book.
If I believe in something, itโs not always a guarantee that others will, too. But what I do know for a fact, is that no one will care more about my book than I do. Thatโs the reason I want to self-publish. I want to retain all the rights to my book, have the final say on any call, choose who I want to work with. In other words: I want to choose it ALLโI want to have full control over my entire book. Yes, it would probably be easier to earn money if my book is bought by a traditional publisher. Especially at the start. Self-publishing takes a lot of research, practice, and most of allโpatience. It will be a hell of a lot easier to get your book inside bookstores if youโre traditionally publishedโso if thatโs really important to you, think about it. Itโs not impossible to get your book in bookstores as a self-published authorโnothing is impossibleโbut it probably wonโt be easy.
