Author Chooses Self-Publishing Over Traditional Book Deal

I had a few conversations but decided against it. I did want to write a book but self-publishing seemed like the better option.

The contract was for a 15% royalty on print books and 25% on e-books. That's a lot less than the 70% you get from self-publishing.

I realized that I didn't want to give up control over my work. I wanted to be able to write what I wanted, when I wanted, and how I wanted.

Self-publishing gives you more control, more money, and more freedom. But it also means you have to do all the work yourself.

I've put the e-book up for pre-order. I'll release each chapter as they are completed. A print version will be available on Amazon later.
