I am about a year away from publishing and I’m only 14 right now. I want to self -publish mainly because I want to own all rights to my book, but I’m unsure if I can do it. I don’t want to publish as an e-book only if I even do an e-book. I want it done right. I have very little money, I know my dad would probably fund me if I asked him to, but I don’t want him to. He’s already put investment in me in another thing and I don’t want him to pay for this too. I’m also very busy and can sometimes easily get overwhelmed. I’m dedicated to my writing so quitting is no option. My main reason for not going traditional is not having all rights. Now I ask you, why have you chosen your way of publishing? I would like to know if it’s alright not to have full control over your piece of work or if it’s worth it to go through the tedious process of self-publishing. I just want to know.
