Of the 44 articles, I think there are 40 that will either inform or will inspire every new writer who is contemplating self-publishing.This is a compelling, well-written compendium for those among us wh are facing obstacles in gaining recognition from agents. Aside from the fact that several of these quick tips are new only to those just beginning their research, the great value it demonstrates is to show people how promotion of their books can be tastefully done while helping other writers.What I mean is that one of the best tools a writer can utilize to market their work is to place as many hot links to their book on as many web pages as possible. This, each of the 44 chapters provides a means to post the link to readers can either purchase the writer's book or read their blog. This tactic is invaluable to the writers who are sharing their lessons learned.As I said, a large number of articles were well-written and well worth the time I invested in reading. Two writers, however, were especially welcome: L J Sellers and Michael J. Sullivan.I give this 212-page anthology of self-publishing five stars and this recommend every self-publisher buy and read Ditch the Publisher: 40 Indie Authors on Their Unique Self Publishing Journey. I also give a special kudos to editor Hayley Sherman.
