Writer Beware (a group that exposes those who are scamming innocent/ignorant writers) often hears from self-published authors who are convinced they’re being ripped off by their self-publishing services–but it’s more likely that their expectations were unrealistic.
Kids, major publishers aren’t out to gleefully reject you – they WANT to publish good books. They’re just aware that the market is lacking. Self-publishing is certainly not going to change that fact.
And here’s a picture of a cat, as per usual – but with a bonus baby and CJ, as our family gets used to one another:


Self-publishing is not something I fancy at all for myself and I’ll probably stick to getting published because a publisher wants me. Nonetheless, another good blog about writing for me to follow, thank you, you seem to add to my resources quite often.
Baby CJ Cat picture so cute!
Bonnee: I know publishers get it wrong sometimes (or, you could argue, the market does) but I do think they know better than 99.9% of writers. because knowing the marekt is their job, after all.
