One is self-publishing, the other isn't.

I can't think of their names off the top of my head but I know at least 3 authors that are doing their own audio books.
I also know several hybrids.
So it is not an either/or. It can be either published by someone other than yourself, some are both with publishers and have some self published (either with or without paid help), some self publish but hire editors and others and then there are the "I did this all by myself" authors.
There are also ghostwriters and co-authors.
Also the kindle world writers. Not sure where they fit in.
