I've been toying around with the idea of self-publishing one of my novels while still querying for an agent. My main goal is to get my book out into the world and into reader's hands. I chatted with my friend Janice about the process, since she's well-versed in the subject, and she gave me her two cents.
In fact, she wrote a couple of good posts about the topic. A general overview,
here, and the cons,
here. There's going to be a third installment soon about the pros and her personal journey with the process.
So check it out. If you're on the fence about self-publishing, this might help you pick a yard to stand in.
