Self-publishing allows you to show off your ideas in front of the true decision-makers, the readers. Unless you already have a built-in audience or previous experience in publishing, it can be difficult to get your work in front of decision-makers. Hundreds of thousands of books are self-published every year, and there’s no way to keep up with them all. But the simple truth is that traditional gatekeepers - literary agents and editors at publishing houses - simply don’t have the bandwidth to determine the value of every story. Some people view self-publishing as a failure, chosen only when no other options remain.
