Love! Love this post! Thanks, Amie...you'...Love! Love! Love this post! Thanks, Amie...you've provided a great service to many writers. It's true it often takes a VERY long time to get traditionally published, but most of the time, you are going to emerge with a beautiful book to put in the hands of kids Those in a hurry would be better served to genuinely self-publish because, as you pointed out, they will at least have all of the control and will reap the profits if there are any. Distribution is such a crucial factor...and vanity presses don't have access to anything more than an individual writer has. And unfortunately, although there are exceptions to the rule, many quickly done, vanity press books (and self-published books) are sadly lacking in cover appeal, page turn editing and illustration quality. Thank you for such a candid post.Vivian Kirkfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745749939523672713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499544192040102367.post-77892977469349328052017-06-08T18:29:22.439-07:002017-06-08T18:29:22.439-07:00Yes they were Sandy.
