She points to Amazon&#39;s Kindle Direct Publishing as an example &ndash; the platform, previously called CreateSpace, used to produce low-quality products. Now, it&rsquo;s hugely improved and Stratton considers the quality excellent. She believes this change occurred because there is an increased need for self-published authors to publish and release their books on a budget, and Amazon has responded to that need. While this is advantageous for authors, there are challenges that have resulted from the growth as well. Stratton sees many indie writers overwhelmed by the self-publishing choices available to them, and there is an information overload when it comes to all the resources out there on the subject.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-02-03/PublisherSaraStrattonontheEvolutionandChallengesofSelfPublishing.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../PublisherSaraStrattonontheEvolutionandChallengesofSelfPublishing.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
