One POWERFUL trick I recently learned about self-publishing: (From Hugh Howey author of Wool) Your publishing rights can be time bound. What does this mean? It means most publishing deals give the rights of your book to the publisher… Forever. But you don’t have to. If you don’t have an audience then your leverage here will be close to nill. If you DO though (which is why he recommends SP first) then you can arrange to get your rights back after a specified amount of time. Meaning you could publish with one of the big five houses for five years, and then another one five years later (and potentially collect another advance or different distribution). That’s a game-changer. If you’re curious about SP check out Hughe’s recent interview on Ferriss where he breaks down the publishing game.

Tips for Publication: Facing a publishing roadblock with a co-author. Understand that they may be encountering issues with multiple publishers, or, rather, they may be blocked by multiple publishers. Decided to give it a shot solo. Fingers crossed for a breakthrough! 🤞 #AuthorsLife #PublishingJourney .
