How I got a big advance from a big publisher and self-published anyway | Penelope Trunk Blog
It’s hard for me to speak about the joys of self-publishing when I’ve never worked with a traditional publisher. But trust me when I say that stories like Penelope’s are *everywhere* and authors are now feeling safe enough to speak up about their own shitty experiences. As always, I add the caveat that the publishing industry is filled with passionate, book- and author-loving people. But it’s also filled with people who don’t have any idea how to navigate new distribution models and peer marketing.
