I would love to hear more about it. I also like your idea of self-publishing. If I ever get my act together that's most likely the route I'd take.

If I have an image at all, it's as a writer of waterways books, so I am happy that my published books follow that path and I hope they will still. This latest book was quite a departure for me, so that was yet another reason for going the Indie route with this one.

I'm so tired of the foot-stamping of some indie and professionally published writers. It doesn't have to be an either-or.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043298014678686801.post-40834455682319647802013-09-07T14:01:07.036-04:002013-09-07T14:01:07.036-04:00Thanks Anne Marie.

I won't rule out being published again, especially for my sequel to Watery Ways, but for the moment, I feel I have enough to do to promote the published books at talks and presentations. It's great that we have the choice now to either go the Indie route solely, or do the hybrid thing. It's a case of what works best for both you and the publishers in the end. As an added note, Sunpenny themselves are going hybrid and are going to be offering packages of services on a pick your own basis.

It is interesting now to hear that there are traditionally published authors choosing to go indie rather than renewing their contracts, and I wonder if control and some of the issues you brought up ( having to do your own marketing anyways) are some of the reasons we are seeing that shift.
