Once again we see that the independent publishing naysayers are knocking self-publishing. But they are leaving out the most important fact of all: for most self-publishers, there is no choice. The mainstream publishers simply don't want them. However, to suggest that self-publishing is a dead end is a lie. Many traditional publishers even admit that they’ve found their books among the self-published. Even if mainstream publishing is not a writer’s goal, he or she has the right to spend his or her own money and take the chance of self-publishing his or her own work; it’s a gamble, just as mainstream publishers gamble on manuscripts. What’s the difference if you do it on your own?
