The Indy Way
I truly believe that choosing to release Titan independently through Amazon (or any independent digital publisher) was the best move I could have made. All of the tools necessary for publishing are available through the internet such as e-books distribution through any number of devices, and all your print on demand options well. Of course all your marketing tools are there also like facebook, twitter, youtube, and of course blogger. Wit the current state of traditional publishing any new author is unlikely to get much in the way of extra editing, marketing, or exposure. You still have to do all the leg work yourself, but you also lose control over your product. It now belongs to the publisher. For the publishers, their overhead and profit margins are shrinking and they imply have less to offer new authors in this digital age. To me it only made sense to do things this way. You can try to get in on the penthouse of the building that is about to be torn down or you can get in on the ground floor of the new state of the art building. Plus, succeed or fail it is my true intention and vision that is represented in the final product not some hackneyed version the publishers editing team decides it needs. I fully plan to complete the Titan series in this manner. I will of course try to learn form it and adapt as I go along, but I will get through it. I can do it for very little cost. I have many more book ideas I plan to use it for also, stories from YA fiction to adult oriented as well. The future is limitless.
