Member-only story
Being completely open and honest with you and myself, traditional publishing is just not my thing.
The idea of getting your work noticed through really great and well-known publications is great but it makes me feel like I don’t have faith that my gift can hold up on its own.
This also goes beyond writing…
I perfer to do my own thing in a way that I think would be the most beneficial for me. I know what’s best for me. You know what is best for yourself. There’s nothing wrong with trusting our own voice.
Traditional publishing has its perks.
I like receiving positive and critical feedback from editors. I may not take their advice and change up my craft to their liking but I would highly appreciate their ideas and suggestions.
Traditional publishing has opened many doors for my work to reach a wide range of individuals in just a short time.
Personally, self-publishing my work and working for myself in general is what I truly enjoy. I make the decisions for myself and that’s the position where I am the most comfortable.
