What's the difference between traditional and independent publishing\, and which one is right for you?
\nTradi tional Publishing: That route typically involves finding a literary agent who loves your book and wants to represent you. Then (hopefully) your agen t will find the perfect home for your book with a traditional publisher. W hen that happens the publisher funds the entire production and most decisi ons about publication schedule\, final edit\, layout\, cover art and marke ting are decided by the publisher. You get a small advance against royalti es. They get 90% of revenue and author and agent divvie up the remaining 1 0%.
\nIndie Publishing: A popular alternative in which the author fu nds the production of their book\, makes all the decisions and keeps a muc h larger percentage of the revenue!
\nWe&rsquo\;ll answer your quest ions about editors\, interior layout\, cover designers\, audiobook narrato rs and production\, KU\, marketing\, early reviewers\, the role of social media in promotion and connecting with influencers\, podcasts and how to m ake inroads into the online book community\, plus the use of giveaways to generate reviews and build an audience.
