Hello, everyone. I've been busy the last couple of days; June 1st was the big day -- both How God Was Created and Artemis Grant were released to the general public. It makes me feel good to be able to say that, yes, I'm a writer, and yes, you can buy my book at such-and-such place if you so wish. Regardless of what so many people say about self-publishing, I am glad to have done it. I get a book that I made all by myself, all by hand, and it looks just as good as every other book you'd ever find in the bookstore. It's just a wonderful feeling.
- Daniel Martinez,

Many writers of past times made their own books. ONe of my favorite writers is Gene Stratton Porter. A wonderful writer whose books delighted two or three generations of readers. She made her own books because publishers in those days would not take a chance on publishing female writers. Later, after her books sold like hotcakes, she changed her name to a male pseudonym and the rest is history.
My belief is that however a writer can get a book in print is OK. Not all of us can be Stephen King. Good for you, Daniel. |

Actually, there was an article in USA Weekly (I get these kinds of articles all the time from relatives) which spoke about self-publishing, and had a few success stories...the authors at the center of those stories answered questions about their experience...it was an interesting article.
Myself, I've been contemplating self-publishing for my next novel...but then, I have to finish it first... :-) |
