Traditional Model
Self Publishing ModelSelf Publishing used to be known as ‘Vanity Press’. Today, technology has made it more readily available.
Most of the Self Publishing companies require you, the author to be accountable for the entire process. You must determine the following:
Who will format your book and design its cover? Who will perform your file conversions and uploads? Who will print, market and distribute your books? Who will perform your editing? Will you have an opportunity
to review and approve it before it gets published? If you hire a Self Publishing company, their services have
hidden costs and how will you know which ‘Package’ you need?
Package 1($), Package 2($$), Package 3($$$)
Independent Publishers (POD)

Traditional Publishing – Place many barriers in front of new authors and entrance to publishing is very difficult (many rejection letters).
Self Publishing- Formerly known as ‘Vanity Press’. There exists many technical steps to master and expensive ‘packages’ to choose from.
Independent Publisher- We can publish your book more quickly and for less cost. We perform all the technical work and use Social Media for Marketing.
