First, I must be honest...I am a fan of Ms. Gardner. I have been following her blog for years and I rely on her for honest, intelligent, non-snarky advice. She doesn't send off that, "If you don't have a big 6 contract, you are just cluttering up the bookshelf" vibe at all. On her blog and in this book, she takes a close look at the real issues behind which path a writer should follow. I think it's a fair thing to consider, "what's your personality like?" in deciding whether to go the traditional or self-pubbed route. This book is a comprehensive look at what can be expected on each route.Now that I have read this guide...I know...I am a traditional kind of gal. I don't have the brass to go it alone. I need someone to walk along the trail with me, so to speak.But, were I to go it alone,the resources at the back of the book are priceless. Trusted places to go for editing, cover design...things the brave of heart, self-publishing entrepreneurs will need.
