Product description

Back in the s, he notes, the company actually dropped a longstanding self-publishing program that had produced around half-a-dozen titles a year, because it took up too much time and resources. Exhibit A is The Shack: Young formed Windblown Media with two friends to release the novel in , and saw it rocket up the bestsellers lists and lead to a marketing and distribution deal with FaithWords at the Hachette Book Group; it has sold almost 20 million copies worldwide.

Athena Dean, an independent publishing coach and marketing consultant, agrees: Selecting a company to work with can be difficult.

While self-publishing providers offer different programs, many agree that buyers should beware.
