For those of you who wonder why I self publish and prefer to, read this lecture I have prepared for my Become A Published Author course. It is all about speed to market and control and it has been worth learning the ropes to make it happen. I still think if you want to make a living as a writer you need to diversify and do other things (I lecture, tutor and develop units of learning for post graduate degree programs)or be one of the very, very few BIG NAME writers.
