One of the most common questions
I receive from newer writers
is
“Should I self publish my story
or submit it to a publisher?”
This is the classic
“Should I go it alone
or partner with someone?”
debate every entrepreneur has.
Only partner with someone
if that someone
is bringing skills or connections
or something else
to the venture
that you can’t supply.
When I first started writing,
I didn’t know what a selling cover
looked like.
I didn’t know what a selling back cover copy
looked like.
I didn’t know which subgenres sold,
which words turned readers on or off,
what a great editor was.
Partnering with publishers
taught me all of this.
Now that I have the knowledge,
I require other things from a publisher
(like marketing, contacts, readers)
when I partner with them.
There ARE benefits to partnering
with another person or business.
Ensure they’re benefits
you want and need.
