The self-publishing industry
It can save you money, or it can cost you more money in the long run. Be sure to weigh the pros and cons of self-publishing before you make a decision. If you publish your book and you have no problems marketing it, then you will save money by publishing the book on your own. If you publish your book and bookstore owners will not touch it, you will have to search for a publisher after all and the money spent to self-publish was money wasted. Be sure you make an informed decision.
