Self Publishing
It sounds easy and fast, but reality hits hard. The editing isn’t professional, the design looks amateur, and distribution is limited. Without industry connections or marketing support, your book disappears into the noise. You keep control, but at the cost of credibility and reach.
Traditional Publishing
Yes, it’s prestigious. But it’s almost impossible to break in. Endless rejections, years of waiting, very little control over your own message, and in the end, you earn only pennies on each single sale.
Most voices never truly get discovered,
let alone remembered in the crowd.
