The publishing landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, and the options available to authors have increased exponentially.
So, how do you know if self-publishing is correct for you?
Someone ones said to me: There’s a great market out there for writers. I once submitted one on wingless birds. Unfortunately, it didn’t fly.But that doesn’t mean that my other books won’t because not all five fingers are the same. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before deciding whether or not to go down this path:

Do I want complete control over my book’s design and content?
Do I need an author platform (i.e., am I already an established expert)? Am I looking for a one-
time payout, or do I want royalties on every sale of my book?
What about distribution—will my book be available at all major retailers or just on Amazon?
What about marketing—can I afford to hire someone to promote my book?
Is it possible that an established publisher will come along with an offer that makes sense for me
later on?

These are just some of the many questions that must be answered before deciding. Some people love being their boss and doing everything themselves. Others might feel overwhelmed by such responsibility but instead, focus on writing rather than designing their book cover or formatting pages.
