OK, I appreciate there have been other threads on this but the ones I read are a good 3 years old and I just wanted to get some recent opinions:
Although I'm still emailing agencies to try to get published the traditional way, the cynic in me is thinking it's probably worth looking into self publishing options. By far the best spoken-of options that I've seen in my research are Createspace and Lulu. I have 3 fairly broad questions to that end;
Does anyone have any particularly positive or negative experiences with these two that they could share?
I am something of a technophobe, how tech savvy does one have to be to make this sort of thing workable?
If I self-publish a book, is there any legal jiggery-pokery I should be wary of if I subsequently want to publish the traditional way?
Sorry if this has been gone into before but I know that these things change and I'm an extremely paranoid man - all opinions appreciated!
