Has anyone self published? Looking for thoughts, ideas, and suggestions.
Thanks
Husker - sometime ago I read a book called Temple - I think it was by a guy called Matthew Reilly or something - his first book was self published and he gave a very funny, but true account of self published books. Let me see if I can dig up the exact name

Gives a great outline of instances of when you should and shouldnt self-publish
They also have a great deal more information on scams, which you should get aquainted with if you do decide to self-publish.
Thanks for the tips - I'll be taking a look soon!
I am currently selfpublishing a novel with Xlibris. The process isn't over so I can't say with total certainty, but so far they have been very professional and very honest.
