WHY SELF-PUBLISH? In the beginning, I was just interested in learning how books were made. I didn't just want to write stories, I wanted to understand the full process of creating a book (from paper types, to page sizes, to formatting, and covers). When I finally released my first book, I found that I loved the sense of control that came with self-publishing.... I can build a career that centers itself on pleasing my readers and not having to worry about jumping over hurdles for gate-keeping publishers.
