I DO want to know about other's publishing experiences. For some reason I was given a prompt telling me your original comment was potentially spam so for general blog safety reasons I deleted it. This incorrect prompting has never happened before so I'm not sure what went wrong. <br /><br />Thank you for bringing this to my attention.<br /><br />Think Positive, Be Positivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981805086599633473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382427031631027145.post-7506909960071870602014-08-19T11:12:25.391-04:002014-08-19T11:12:25.391-04:00Donna, I thought you said somewhere in the post yo...Donna, I thought you said somewhere in the post you wanted to hear about other plans* to get published, I tell you about mine and you delete it?<br /><br />* <i>Have you had any experiences with small presses, ebook publishers, or self-publishing?

I'm glad authors today have many more options to choose from...but they still need to do their research! I don't know how I over looked Jane's website. I'm a huge fan and follow her blog...;~)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and come back any time!<br />Donna L Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553676457762998807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382427031631027145.post-4326390469792245012014-08-05T09:31:21.494-04:002014-08-05T09:31:21.494-04:00I published my first book with a vanity press (iUn...I published my first book with a vanity press (iUniverse) and with what I knew about self-publishing, it was an okay choice at the time. I wanted paper copies of my books to be available as well as ebooks, and I managed to get a package that was reduced from the normal price. There's so much more information online now and so many more options, that I wouldn't recommend anyone taking that route now. I've self-published since, and been happy with the results. The resources you recommend are excellent ones. I'd also suggest Jane Friedman's blog: Helping Authors and Publishers Flourish in the Digital Age. She offers great resources and current information about publishing today. http://janefriedman.com/ <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077825786378654326noreply@blogger.com
