That's a tough one, girl. I see your point on both angles. Not sure what I would do in that case. Although your book is selling well now, you might see many more sales with a publisher's name attached to it despite the higher price. It would also open more doors for you in the future. Have you checked with all the various writer forums to see about the indie pub's record as far as promotional help or fair contract terms?
I turned down a respected, small-press publisher because they wanted me to tone down or eliminate many of the heartwarming scenes with children that were in the book. I felt strongly about leaving them in. But I understand their position. They wanted to emphasize the romance because they were strictly a romance pub. So I found a different publisher who handles many different genres. I'm waiting now to do the edits with them for release in the 4th quarter of this year.
I hope whatever you decide to do pans out for you. Let us know the outcome.
