Booking a place among self-publishers
You’ve just told someone that you’ve written a book. “That’s brilliant,” they said. “Who’s publishing it?” A beat. You say: “I am.” Their eyes glaze over. They change the subject. You know what they’re thinking: all self-published books aren’t very good.
In the beginning that may have been true, but the tide has long since turned. Self-publishing is no longer the medium for lovelorn poets and witless wannabes to foist their unsponsored works upon family and friends.
