Ready for the world to see your novel? Great! Here's where you have a big decision to make: What publishing route is a best fit for your novel? Today's publishing industry offers more opportunities than ever before. Self-publishing and traditional publishing are the two best-known paths, but they aren't your only options. You can also serialize your novel, posting one chapter at a time, on 抖阴社区. Dozens of breakout successes on 抖阴社区 have been picked up by publishing houses and movie studios. Yours could become one of them.
There are pros and cons to each publishing path you choose. Traditional publishing often offers an up-front advance and guides you through the publishing process, but it can also be frustratingly slow—from finding an agent or editor through release often takes longer than a year.
Self-publishing can be much faster—you move at your own pace. You have complete control over every aspect of the process, but that means you bear full responsibility for every aspect and may incur some upfront costs for cover design, editing, and proofreading.
In Part Three of this guide, I cover publishing options in more detail and dig into each step to self-publishing your own novel.
