Pros and cons of self-publishing, in 2019
Meg LaTorre, of the iWriterly channel, discusses the pros
and cons of self-publishing your own book.
Off the bat, one common strategy for some fantasy and sci-fi
authors is to give away your first book if you plan a long series.
There is a lot of emphasis on freedom of control of creative
content and schedule.
On the con side, the lack of “external validation”. And you have to “fit the bill”.
She said the average self-published book sells less than one
hundred copies in its lifetime. Self-published authors (usually) don’t have
much scale.
She also says that publishing houses offer much larger royalty
percentages on e-books than print.
Legitimate marketing events (bookstore appearances) are your
responsibility. When writers are
introverts.
In a later installment she will describe her own self-publishing
process for a major sci-fi novel.
