Nearly
one hundred years after Virginia Woolf and her husband Leonard set up Hogarth
Press for books that commercial publishers would not look at it’s happening all
over again writes CL Bell for Indiereader. Self Publishing that gives writers
the freedom to write what they want rather than what establishments judge as
sellable.
In June last year, before mustering the courage to publish my
novel this is what I had written:
Self publishing has its own rewards. It’s like giving birth and
parenting a child and not sending it out to board….
Parenting a child and rewards…. It’s a joke….but there are moments
when the child looks at you with round eyed wonder, when a small plump hand
grips your fingers in a death lock, when a leg is carelessly thrown over your
thighs pinning you down with its gossamer weight, when tender skin
brushes your arms accidently, catching a secret whispered in your mouth.
Parenting a child is most rewarding, even when it is not
recognised…
Working on my manuscript and deciding to self publish too has been
a wondrous experience of taking responsibility and bringing character to an
unsuspecting manuscript in trying to make it to a
book.
