Kristen, I read this & LITERALLY heard you speaking the words to me in my head.

You’re RIGHT. There ARE pros & cons to self-publishing, going with a hybrid, or going the traditional route. And it really steams my keyboard when I see some know-it-all voice THEIR two cents like it’s the holy gospel of ALL publishing. No two writers have the same voice, or the same path. The trick isn’t to brag on what route you went to get your work in front of the readers, it’s getting your book in front of the readers. Live & let live is the best policy when it comes to letting authors be authors.

To quote Rodney King from back in the day: “Can’t we all just get along?”

Thank you for laying it all out FACTUALLY. It’s posts like this that make you the one I tell newer authors to follow & utilize to help them along.

Keep up the amazeballs work, my friend. You are an angel!!

And as a hybrid author…I say, those that choose to call me a “fake author”, well, they’re entitled to their WRONG opinion. I might not be making a LIVING from my writing, but I sho nuff am a REAL writer, because I’m REALLY writing & I REALLY have readers…..so there’s that!!

You used a sleazy, clickbait LIE for a title just to get people here. And, your message has nothing to do with the title, but who cares, because it’s just “marketing,” right?

I’ve yet to meet a self “publisher” who isn’t a sleazy liar. Not one.
