Thinking About Self-Publishing?
Are you thinking about self-publishing your next book? Do you have visions of your book on a prominent shelf in a large book retailer?
Think again. Your book may be listed on Amazon, but retailers dislike self-published books. They have restocking problems and problems with the quality of the finished product (typos, editing, etc.)
The bookstore market is a closed system that only deals with distributors and traditional book publishers. It's why we at Elk Lake work hard to help you have a finished product that is well-edited and has an eye-catching cover.
