Self Publishing - The Power of Distribution.

The power lies in Distribution. Will technology put the channel networks together?
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.
