Last night was my second class in a series of three. We covered a lot of stuff, mainly talking about vanity presses, self-publishing, and traditional publishing. I still think traditional is the way to go, however if worse comes to worse, people now have the option of self-publishing. I've heard too many horror stories about vanity/subsidary publishers. All I know is you still have to pay them to print your work and if you're going to do that, you might as well self-publish. You're going to have to do all the promotion for yourself so if you believe in your project, you might as well invest in it.
Next week, we're going to talk about rights and various other topics. If you are interested in self publishing, here are a few websites you might want to check out:
