On MODERN SELF-PUBLISHING

Time was, the term “self-publishing” carried a negative connotation. The presumption was that if you had to publish your book yourself, it was because it wasn’t good enough to interest a traditional publisher. That stigma has largely disappeared, as new digital technology has revolutionized the publishing world. Just about anywhere these days, you can see people reading books on electronic book readers like the Kindle, on their tablets, even on their smart phones. It’s no longer a novelty, and it’s no longer frowned upon.
