You tell it like it is! After 10-years of...Wow...<br /><br />You tell it like it is! After 10-years of handing out my 'do it yourself' legal book on a .pdf document on a CD at seminars, I suddenly woke up one day and realized not only did I have a product (developed in conjunction with thousands of clients) that was unique, but that I was -also- an independent publisher!<br /><br />Me ... a publishing company ... who woulda figured?<br /><br />After attending a few conferences and looking at the publishing company business model, I decided to not even bother going down the Big-6 route. Why on earth would I do all the work to market my book (and the others I have written to help my clients), build a website, attend conferences, and continue doing my self-help seminars and then hand over 93% of the profits?<br /><br />Or as Diane Keaton said in the movie Baby Boom - if Food Corp can put Country Baby on every supermarket shelf in America ... so can I...<br /><br />It's not just 'wannabes' anymore, but professionals like me with advanced degrees and viable non-fiction products with lucrative markets the Big-6 wants. After reading half a dozen 'how to send a query letter' books, I have decided not to deal with such arrogance.<br /><br />My soon-to-be e-book/POD self-help series will sink or swim on its own merits ... but I'll be damned if I'm going to put up with being treated like dirt!<br /><br />Anna T.
