Today, many people are familiar with the term "self-publishing". It is commonly used in reference to books, newspapers, and magazines that are either created by the author or written anonymously. The publication also includes publishing projects by writers who only publish works directly to the public. This blog post chronicles one woman's journey in self-publishing her debut novel - something she never knew she could do until she came across it online while seeking an internship. This post explores her experiences in self-publishing and how it has impacted not only her career but her life overall. A New Adventure - Her Beginnings in Self-Publishing When it comes to career options, people often assume that their paths were set in stone from birth. Many people assume that they were always meant to be an accountant or a scientist. However, this is not the case for one young woman whose life and interests constantly change and evolve. When asked about her career path of choice, this young writer replied: "To be honest, I wasn't sure I even wanted to become a writer until last year. I am pursuing a career in writing because of my love for books and words." She further commented on her journey into self-publishing: "I never thought I could make money with my writing. I never thought I could be my own boss. And I certainly didn't know how to find a publisher. There were so many things that I didn't know and it was nerve-wracking." "It was frightening and exciting and intimidating and wonderful all at the same time," she continued. After discovering the blog, she decided that this would be an adventure of a lifetime: "I'm excited that we finally got to put together our first book," she said, "But it's also bittersweet because we'll never make another one. We'll never get to hear someone else tell our stories or help us edit or proofread or design it. All that's left is to send it off into the world and hope that it succeeds." This sentiment is one that is shared by many writers who seek their own path in self-publishing. Self-Publishing vs Traditional Publishing Self-publishing has a plethora of benefits for writers. They can be their own boss, they can select topics of interest, and they have full creative control over the work they publish. To this writer, self-publishing simply feels more natural: "It was kind of a no brainer," she explained. "I knew I needed to do traditional publishing too but with self-publishing, you don't have to wait around for anyone else to accept you or your work. You just write." As opposed to seeking a traditional publisher, self-publishing has given her the freedom to express herself more freely. She added: " I just didn't want someone to tell me that my work wasn't worth it or wasn't good enough." As seen in her previous statement, this writer is extremely passionate about her writing and has taken the steps needed to make it a part of her life. Self-publishing has given this young woman the opportunity to make something out of nothing. Although self-publishing might not be for everyone, it gives writers like her an outlet for their creativity and passion without having to wait around for someone else's approval. cfa1e77820
