That&rsquo;s the first question you need to ask. If you want to reach a mass audience through bookstores, you have to go with a major publisher. It&rsquo;s the best way. They have the distribution. They have the mass media. They have what you want. But if you have to get a book out quick, then you want to self-publish using a print-on-demand service or get the e-book out right away. I just put out an e-book on Kindle the other day. It takes 20 minutes, and the book is out there. I don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s sold any copies yet, but it&rsquo;s out there. I can promote it now. I can pitch it. I can do media around it if I want to. So it depends, to some extent, what audience you want to reach and how you want to reach them. If you already have a following on the internet, then you probably want to go with print-on-demand or e-books. If you want to build a career as a writer, you probably want to reach a mass market audience, in which case, you probably want to go with a New York publisher that gives you instant credibility, which you don&rsquo;t necessarily get when you self-publish.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: article, fiction, Nonfiction</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/self-publishing/w/advantages-disadvantages/1741/publish-your-book-avenues-to-pursue---article/revision/1Wed, 14 Dec 2016 00:00:00 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:4cee6631-dc78-4def-9e01-8a001b60e7e6John Kremerhttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/self-publishing/w/advantages-disadvantages/1741/publish-your-book-avenues-to-pursue---article#commentsRevision 1 posted to Advantages/Disadvantages by John Kremer on 12/14/2016 12:00:00 AM<br /> <p>Who do you want to reach, and how do you want to reach them?
