    A question on self-publishing

    Thanks for your advice Michael. Recently I have been thinking about offering a couple of shorter stories probably about novella length for free as they would be my first 'published works' or if I was to charge for them, it would not be very much. From things I have read, its easier to get your...

    A question on self-publishing

    Thanks for the help Dan, I think I will most probably upload directly to some of the bigger sites like you say and publish hard copies through createspace depending on how the cost is affected by the distance, since I don't think they have a base here in the UK. Thanks again :)

    How do you write?

    This is not as serious as the title makes out. Im just curious as the ways you prefer to write. Do you write everything on a computer or do you like to scribble things downs on paper and then transfer them? For example, do you write notes on paper and then expand them on the computer? Do you...

    A question on self-publishing

    Thanks for the help guys, that clears a lot of it up for me :) My only thought was to maybe self publish some short stories before I tackle a big novel and if I don't manage to get anything published, then at least I have something to show for my efforts if you understand where im coming from...
