WHY SELF-PUBLISH? I'm not the kind of person who waits around for destiny to come to me. I reach out and take it. I've always been a really prolific writer, completing multiple books a year, and I knew most traditional publishing companies weren't going to be able to keep up with the speed at which I can produce a novel or a series. I have lots of ideas, and I want to get those ideas out there for people to enjoy, so I can move on to the next one. Why wait for someone else to give me a yes when I can give that acceptance to myself?
HAD YOU CONSIDERED TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING? It's not an either/or thing anymore. The most successful authors of the future are and will be hybrid—that is, they'll have both self-published titles and titles produced by traditional publishers. The divide between the two sides is dissipating as more authors realize there are benefits to being on both sides of the fence and having your brand in as many places as possible.

What Is Your Story Question?
When a story isn't working—when you know it's not quite coming together, when beta readers and critique partners confirm your fears but can't put a finger on why, or you're not getting offers from agents or publishers—savvy authors start trying to diagnose the issue by examining its component parts, like characterization, plot, and stakes.
