Self-publishing
When I have finished my book, Cold Treats, I am going to self-publish.
Before you panic and start giving me dire warnings about 'vanity' publishing and such, chill out. I am doing my homework, researching as much as I can.
I am currently reading a book entitled 'The Fine Print of Self-Publishing' (Fourth Edition) by Mark Levine. I'm rather inclined to trust Mark's advice, because he himself is self-published. Successfully self-published, in fact.
And, according to the advice from my sources, including Mark, self-publishing is largely the way to go, especially for your first book, when you are an unknown that the publishing companies don't give a rat's ass about.
So, I'm taking notes, and will take out what I feel are the best books again when I've finished Cold Treats and I am ready to start the process.
Additionally, I'm thinking of also recording an audio-book of it. I have a good speaking voice, and I am a fairly good actress, according to directors I've worked with and audiences I've performed for. Besides, many people have a preference for audiobooks read by the author.
