...Thanks for posting my article! I appreciate that.<br /><br />@Ellyn - Several traditional authors are turning to self publishing, but not because agents are charging more. It's one of those calculated decisions. There are advantages on both sides and each author needs to look at his or her work, personality, marketing ability, and other factors, then decide on which road to take.<br /><br />Some traditional authors believe they can be just as successful on their own, and get higher royalties without the agent and publisher taking their cut. Others are staying put because they see the value in having a team behind their work. Both are valid choices.Eddie Snipeshttp://www.eddiesnipes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-40914447709168496272011-07-26T11:45:57.105-05:002011-07-26T11:45:57.105-05:00Is it true that many authors who already have thei...Is it true that many authors who already have their fame are turning to self-publishing because agents are starting to charge more?<br /><br />- EllynEllynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902646780678873511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-66762471520572426612011-07-26T10:15:34.639-05:002011-07-26T10:15:34.639-05:00The elevator pitch was fun, and challenging! :-) I...The elevator pitch was fun, and challenging! :-) I think 100 word opening is certainly easier, but it was neat to change it up and try our hand at doing an elevator pitch!<br /><br />I self published my first book and am currently working on another. I'd love it if I could find a traditional publisher for it. But if I can't, I'd consider self publishing again and just working harder than my first book at getting the word out there. :-) Thanks for the tips, Edward!Katie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14957978754744226499noreply@blogger.com
