Team self publishing! 👍 I am a German fiction editor and I work with some really successful romance authors. I have seen many of them signing book contracts with major book publishers and then coming back to selfpublish their books afterwards. It's true: Once you understand the business side of publishing, you no longer need a publisher. Romance authors often are successful "authorpreneurs".
There is no way I'd sign over my multiverse. It is why I haven't bothered with a publisher. But the hard part is to get people to buy. I have one publisher of a couple of my short stories who never gave me a review copy so it had mistakes I would have caught. Has never told me how many sales I've had. Has never paid me. SMH.
The economics of traditional publishing is wild. You have to sell 5x as many books as a self published author for the same income and you would have to sell at least 50,000 copies of a book just to earn a one year income that would be considered upper middle class.

Whar a great video. Preciate it

Please make more content about ghostwriting because I just start and I feel lost.
This was a sign of the universe. Thank you for sharing your insights on this business!
This is great! I love his content. I prefer working alone and do most myself.
OMG, never paid attention to this. It's insane! I guess, no writer should sign the deal, but to understand the digital platforms.
Appreciate the insight
