I have repeated this several times. If you want to sell an ebook – whether it's a guide, a novel, an essay, it doesn't matter – rely on an editor. The first thing "my" editor will have to do is tell me whether my story is sellable or not. If the answer is yes, then we will proceed with the editing. And it seems all too obvious to me. If you send a manuscript to a publisher and get no response, your novel is rubbish. Ok, so are some published novels and many unpublished masterpieces have gone unnoticed.
Self-publishing is not the absence of presentation I've seen ebooks put up for sale with Phone Number Data obscene covers. Ugly, graphically crude, classic DIY art. An ebook must be presented in a professional manner. It must be laid out professionally, too. The presentation must be flawless, because we are talking about what? Of a commercial product. #10 – Self-publishing is not a one-off operation You don't create an ebook out of nothing or in a few seconds. It is created with work, even with teamwork. Self-publishing is an editorial operation, not an artisanal one.
Craft work in creative writing exists, but it remains confined to writing, in fact. Everything else, everything that comes after the classic word "end" is marketing and technique. If you can't understand all this, if you don't want to accept all this, then for you there is the print on demand market and, for those who have money to throw away, paid publishing. What is self-publishing not for you? What other elements are not part of self-publishing, in your opinion? Do you agree with what I wrote?
