So there is a way to escape the CafePress reputation if you go that route. It depends on what you want though. If you want to be at Borders, you need a bigger publisher if you want to share a family biography, absolutely self publish. E-books are a constant discussion now in writing communities. Some people don't want to do them others say, the more readers the better (I'm in that camp). It's definitely changing days in the industry. What are the publishers getting paid for on an e-book if they hardly market you and only sell digital copies. Still an editor polishes things to a smooth surface.roamingwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798304569822903068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12272116.post-6577888491486291952010-01-20T22:58:34.183-06:002010-01-20T22:58:34.183-06:00It is nice to be able to have people (want to) rea...It is nice to be able to have people (want to) read your compositions. I definitely get the value of editing, though. Regarding self-publishing, is that generally the reputation that lulu.com and CafePress have? I've been intrigued lately of the impact that new technology is and will have on how works are published, sold, transmitted, and stored.shakedusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380500891984359879noreply@blogger.com
