Marine and the Hippie 211023 S01E28- On Publishing

The Marine and the Hippie

Om this dialogue, we divert from a normal discussion of current events to take a moment to talk about self publishing. As we both are now published authors, we discuss some of the benefits of self-publishing, some of the challenges associated with editing and promotion, and the promise of self promotion for the dissemination of information from a broader pool of authors, essentially going around the gatekeepers in legacy publishing houses. There are of course tradeoffs to self publishing as opposed to getting an agent, but at the end of the day, if your goal is to get your ideas before eyes and control your own art and philosophy, free of the needs for others to profit from your work, self publishing is a fairly easy and certainly inexpensive process that anyone with a bit of technical knowhow and dedication to the project can accomplish.
