Do you have any experiences with self published books from new/unknown authors? I’m considering checking that area out since the traditional published books are becoming so very similar due to the strict standards which lead to almost for every publishing house to deal with no authors but those they work with for years. Short story long: Books are becoming extremely repetitive and so BORING!!!
What do you say?
I think it’s good to have some kind of editorial process. Someone to filter authors, find the good ones, and advise them how to improve their work.
Unfortunately I don’t think traditional publishing does that very well anymore. Self-publishing used to be for people with high hopes and low talent, but these days I definitely think there are more and more first-class authors turning to self-publishing.
