Episode 028 Becoming A Published Author is Fun A Vision

In this episode your host provides a chart comparing the three most common types of publishing. These are Traditional, Self-Publishing, and Indie.
There is a fourth called a hybrid which tries to bridge the gap between traditional and self-publishing but this type is basically traditional with some self-publishing influences. Because of that it is not covered here.
When you look at the chart you can easily see why your host emphasizes Indie. It is simply the better way. One of the issues he deals with is control which should be every author's primary concern.
