Introduction

The world of publishing has undergone a revolution. Gone are the days when aspiring authors had to navigate the gatekeepers of traditional publishing houses, endure endless rejection letters, and surrender creative control.

As a result, many authors who might have struggled to break through traditional publishing barriers are now finding success and financial independence through self-publishing.
