hahaha It's almost as long as your story. Sorry! But I feel so strongly about it. I'm glad you wrote this, though, because there really are some damaging myths surrounding self-publishing, and I just get so irritated with people who claim they'd never read a self-pubbed book. Really? That's where all the good, original stuff comes from! I have no use for most of the Big 5 books because they're all the same as each other.

All the best to you on your writing journey!
