All of you authors are discovering a reality you may not be comfortable with. Before you can promote your book, you must have a book in hand (or in eBook form). As the publishing world closes houses or consolidates to become one big conglomerate . . . more and more people are earning degrees, advanced degrees and professional experience that qualify them to write books in their field or create a wonderful fiction that can transport a reader to another place. Now what do you do?
Self-publish? No! Those are vanity presses! NO THEY ARE NOT!
Large, prestigious publishers are offering self-publishing departments where authors can partner with the publishers, take advantage of their years of experience and talents, and co-publish the book. The word-weaver then has a compound job description - author and publisher.
That's not vanity! That's business!
