Just a note about self publishing. I self-published because I wanted to get the word out about the dangers of prescription drugs and I really did fall in love with Lexie. I have asked published friends, and a president of a publishing company (academic) if it will be harder to be published because I crossed the line of traditional methods. Both said it would increase my chances of being published traditionally.
This month's Writer Digest said the opposite. Of course, right? The average sales of a self-published book? 75. If you sell too many the publishers believe you could have gone through your audience. If you sell to few, well you are not really dedicated to
being an author or your book well it is not very good.
Just as in anything else....I think it is hard work and luck. I will keep you posted. By the way, I have sold more than the average.
But fewer than what they say would burn out my book.
