Let me just state my current plan to clarify things:
I am writing a novella, completely unrelated to any of my other future stories. I will self publish this as an ebook only to test the waters of the author world. To get honest critique on my work and skills and to help get my name out there. I will make some physical copies for myself, friends and family, but only more will be made if the demand is high.
And then I want to my novels, my full trilogies, and bring them to a legitimate publisher.
Do publishers frown upon authors self publshing first? Will this hinder my book getting published?
