Author pays all costs up front Author retains all rights Author is responsible for all marketing Author gets all profits. Indie publishing: Author pays all costs up front Author retains all rights Author is responsible for all marketing Author gets all profits. The only changes are that the up front costs are lower, and marketing is easier and cheaper. But it's still vanity publishing unless you make a full time job of the marketing, same as before. There are people how have made literal fortunes self-publishing through a vanity press, because they did make a full time job of the marketing. The tools change, but the game is the same as always. |
