Hi, Jade,

Sounds like you’ve got #1 finished!

To me, I’m an author because I’ve found several publishing companies who want to print what I write. In other words, if those publishers think it’s a book, then it is. Having said that, self-publishing is something I never did, but it has become a quite legitimate way to publish. So when I think about self-publishing, it’s something I won’t do. But I would never stop anyone else from self-expressing in that manner. 

I just read that over, and it sounds snooty. Sorry. I just feel that going through a publisher, or going to a publisher through an agent, shows that the author has faith in his/her product. And self-publishing is a teeny bit cowardly.

And I’ll bet that’s exactly what you didn’t want to hear. But you did ask. So forgive me for sounding preachy because I would never lie to you or soft-pedal anything.

And I wish you and your family a happy and blessed Easter.                                                                                      –G–
