People should self-publish if they just want to see the book in print, or they are sure they can sell it out of their trunk and set up their own book signings. Perhaps you--Hope---have the percentage of books that are self-published and then get snapped by up one of the "big boys," but I'm sure it's very small.Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016238.post-20015226784331362992011-03-17T07:55:01.989-05:002011-03-17T07:55:01.989-05:00Thanks, Hope, for this info.
