Don’t forget to click on the Source Link Steve provides at the bottom of his post and read that great article by Author Orna Ross as well 😀
There is one particular point that Orna Ross makes in this article that really struck home with me. In the past I have referred to myself as a “hybrid” author. That means that I publish both through traditional publishers as well as independently publishing my own work. However – as Orna points out – maybe this is an antiquated concept.
I mean really – when you stop and think about it, I publish my work independently because it suits my purposes. I likewise publish my work through a traditional publisher – BECAUSE IT SUITS MY PURPOSES!
Either way – that is an independent decision that I make – and therefore maybe it is time to start calling myself an indie author – first and foremost.
Better tie a string around my typing finger so that I remember making that decision.
Do yourself a favor and read the rest of Orna’s…

I agree. I chose to self publish my first book and I loved how the process makes you aware of what all goes into writing and publishing. Plus I believe no one should be rejected, we are all unique story tellers in our own way.
