Relaunching
Ever
since Indie (formerly known as Autharium) closed down in February this
year I’ve been trying to sort out the republication of the two books I had
published through them. I found myself
hesitant and uncertain of which direction to take. Should I once more tackle the traditional
route or should I persist in my stubbornness and continue to self-publish?
I took the opportunity to rework the books I’d previously published and at the same time continued working on new projects. But I know that deep down I’ve been dithering and feeling a little unsettled about the whole process. After all, Indie had sorted out the two things which terrified me: formatting the text and royalties. I would now have to tackle these on my own along with front cover design and marketing.
I’ve been extremely lucky in the front cover stakes. For my first novel (Six Dead Men) a friend’s son used an image from his university work which suited the feel of the novel and he designed a brilliant cover for me.…
