9 Reasons Why I'm Choosing to Self (Indie) Publish
Recently a friend mentioned something to me that made me firm up my decision to do this on my own. She pointed out that the sample of the manuscript I sent her was in the wrong font and spacing for agents to read and that they would likely just throw it out without giving it a chance. She was being kind in pointing it out but the thing that struck me is, fuck that! I like the font I write in. I use it because I like to read it and how it looks. I really don't care if someone doesn't like it. That's a stupid reason not to read something.
So I'm going to Indie publish. No agent. No publisher. No distributor. No PR machine. No query letters or manuscript submissions or external validation. I'm doing it by my own damn self.
And this is why.

To Self Publish
As an indie publisher who has been through the processes many times over the last couple of years, I wanted to bring a few ideas from my side of the fence. I plan to self publish my own work.
