12.5 Unveiling the Advantages and Perks of Self-Publishing

I was having dinner with a friend who is working on publishing her first novel. We talked about everything under the sun… books and life related. But when she shared the advice of her book coach, I had to add to it. 

“I’m going to self publish,” she told me. “Because my book coach said it could take me a year or two for traditional publishing.” I suggested that she add a few years to that. I know people who are multiple years out and still can’t find a literary agent. 

She’s self publishing, which I think is smart in today’s publishing landscape, and if that’s the route you’re taking, I want to share with you all the other amazing perks of self-publishing for you to take advantage of. This episode is all about self-publishing benefits to take full advantage of. If you are considering self-publishing, I think you’ll find this episode enlightening.
