It's easier now more than ever to publish a book.

Indie is self-publishing where you pay for everything upfront. You design, print, market, and sell your book.

Traditional is signing a contract with a publishing company who takes control and the financial risk of your book. The publishing company will pay for editing, layout, cover, printing, marketing and selling the book. You will market and sell your book along with the publishing company.

Writing short stories is a great way to develop your writing.

Key Writing Craft Concepts:
Show Don't Tell
Tight Writing
