Beyond the control issue, there are other reasons a writer will choose to self-publish a book:• Lower publishing cost.
• To maximize the earnings the book brings in. (Self-published authors can earn up to 70% of sales of books but only make 10-15% when they are contracted to publishers.)
• The writer loves the publishing business, and wants to be involved in every aspect of getting their book into the market.
• To maintain direct control of the customer list.
• To market to a small, specific demographic of readers, to whom the writer has direct access.
• Simple preference, to publish one's work by oneself.
Why Choose Self-publishing - Publishing - Writing
These are very valid points about self publishing a book . As an author, I feel this is a very good way to get your material out there and read.
