The power of self-publishing and its advantages over traditional publishing

Self-publishing offers writers the opportunity to take control of their work without giving up a significant portion of their profits or compromising creative control. By using platforms like Amazon, writers can upload their manuscripts, design book covers, and have their books printed on demand. This allows for greater flexibility and eliminates the need for costly printing and warehousing. With self-publishing, writers have the potential to earn higher royalties and build their own publishing empire.
