As recently as ten years ago, self -publishing was not all
that easy. You had to find a decent place to print your book, fork over some
dough, and wait for the books to arrive. You couldn’t order piecemeal or wait
for some orders to roll in first, you had to buy a bunch and hope for the best.
Still, writers would pay thousands of dollars for this option if they were not
able to find a publishing company. Like authors, independent musicians and
filmmakers were in this same tough spot too.
