A Quandary
The season November 15-January 15 is the peak book and ebook sales season. I have two novels nearly ready for publishing and with a little self-butt kicking I can get them ready by then.
The quandary is, do I pursue the phantom of traditional brick and mortar publishing, thereby guaranteeing no new books this year or go ahead and put these out there? In about a week I can have them ready for final edit and off to the editor, I have the covers done and a quick drop into CreateSpace publishing template will have them ready.
I guess I need to decide, do I want to try again for traditional publishing with their low royalties, minimal advances, low publicity (at least for first time authors) and in general lack luster performance just to be traditionally published, or go ahead and continue with independent publishing?

I am in the same place withe one book ready to release on November 21, but I have decided not to wait now and self-publish it so it's available for the holidays.

Go indie for now. You'll have more creative control over your books
