Yep. Agree with you. Many of us indies are control freaks 😂. Audiobook is the only thing I don’t do Indi.

I'm with you on almost every point, but I fear AI will doom indie/small creators. Are you concerned about this at all?

Truth, I got a tradpub offer for my 2nd book not long after I selfpub’d it. The offer wasn’t exactly appealing, maybe cuz it was a 1 off, not a series

I think trad appeals to so many because it’s so difficult to make a living writing indie. Esp if you don’t have the start up cash.
