My advice to anyone who is a writer, published or not. Self Publish. Buy all your own ISBN numbers. Pay a professional editor (after friends and family have done their editing). Pay for a professional cover. Short on cash? Raise the money on Kickstarter. Amazon's Createspace and Kindle has the best customer service I have ever come across in my life. Lulu has "normal, slow" customer service. But e Read more of this blog post »
