How do I choose the right publishing route for my book?

Choosing a publishing route depends on your goals, budget, and the level of control you want. Are you considering traditional publishing, self-publishing, or hybrid options?

I’m leaning towards self-publishing, but I’m not sure if it’s the best choice.

Self-publishing offers more control and potentially higher royalties, but it also requires you to handle marketing and distribution. What are your main priorities?

I want to reach a wide audience and have professional quality.

In that case, traditional publishing might be beneficial as they often have established distribution channels and professional editing. Have you considered querying agents?

Not yet, what’s the process like?

The process typically involves researching agents, writing a query letter, and submitting your manuscript. It can be competitive, so having a polished manuscript is key.
