Self-Publishing

Self-publishing allows authors to independently publish their work without relying on a traditional publishing house. With platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) or Smashwords, authors can produce, distribute, and sell their books in both digital and print formats.

Self-publishing gives authors full creative control over their work and higher royalties, but it also requires them to manage editing, design, marketing, and distribution on their own. It has become increasingly popular due to its accessibility and flexibility.
