I like that she's not pro-traditional or pro-Indie, but gives us both sides of the fence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-62671015462996964052014-07-27T07:54:59.317-04:002014-07-27T07:54:59.317-04:00Thanks, Aubrey.

You will work twice as many hours for about the same pay. I think most authors are playing both sides of the fence. For example, I write contemporary YA that could easily fit into a publisher's catalog. But if I want to try something a little outside the normal genres, I'm better off self-publishing, where I'll be happy with a couple thousand niche readers. I think you'll see more like me, who want to trad publish some books to gain an audience and hit markets we'd otherwise miss, but indy publish other titles for long-term gain. This is a great time to be an author, and we should explore all these great new opportunities. Good post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473774179937702258noreply@blogger.com
