I never plan to go trad. But then a tiny file mistake happens and I have to pay $25 to change the print file with my printer. And I think "maybe"😂

I’m so happy that #2 is fading. About to publish my first as an indie author and paid THOUSANDS for editing/formatting/etc

Thank you for sharing. Sometimes I feel like writertok can sound like an echo chamber for indie pub. I love indies, but i value trad too.

Also international rights. I just saw how an indie book translation process didn’t work out at all.

And dang the upfront cost isn’t cheap. The distribution is a huge advantage.

that was a great answer! The upfront costs were the main reason I chose not to go indie and try trad pub instead. Thank you for your transparency!

Which of your book/series has been picked up for traditional publishing? Or was it something new and the existing ones are still indie published? 🙈❤️

For accessibilty I've heard indie is really difficult to get in libraries, and as someone who can sometimes only use Libby that is heart breaking!

All matters of publishing is valid. It’s not this magical dream a lot of people seem to think. It’s a business. It takes work.

I'm happy because your books will likely be available in my country. I've read and loved so many of them but don't own any because of shipping costs.
