Indie Publishing vs. Traditional Publishing

To indie publish or traditionally publish? That is the question.
For years, indie publishing was seen as a fallback for authors who couldn’t land a traditional contract. But times have changed. Many indie authors now outsell and out-earn their traditionally published counterparts.
And yet, while many traditionally published authors are switching to indie, it’s far less common to see a successful indie author sign with a major publisher.
What would make an indie author turn down a traditional publishing deal?
I spoke with Scott LaPierre, an author and conference speaker, to find out.
In this week’s episode, we discuss:

• The biggest myths about traditional publishing
• How signing a contract affected book sales
• Traditional publishing’s take on pricing and marketing
• The cost of getting your rights back and why it matters

Scott gives a first-hand account of working as a traditional and indie author and where he landed after experiencing both routes.
If you’ve ever wondered which path is right for you and your book, listen in or read the blog version of our conversation.
