Traditional publishers either pay the author a very small royalty (usually around 8 to 12%) or charge numerous fees for production, marketing, distribution, storage, and other “services” while retaining the rights to your book usually for two years…making it impossible for the author to “shop” the book even if other publishers show an interest! There are no guarantees of selling books or even breaking even with these either traditional publishers or the growing number of “Hybrid” publishers.

     All of this makes sense from the stand point, 6 out of 7 books don’t make money…which is why traditional publishers tend to only work with successfully published authors, leaving new authors—no matter how talented they are—invisible to most all publishing houses.

Simple: Self publish your work, market your own work, own all your own rights to your work, and establish your book—and yourself—as one of those “successful” authors! Consider too, that as a self published author, you can make over 250% profit on your books as a self published author over the measly 8 – 12% offered by traditional publishers! The choice is very clear! Also, by self-publishing your work, you don’t have to wait for the publisher to “decide” when to print, distribute, market, or promote your work!
