It's free to publish me?by Lori Mazzola
Tales of the Tree People
My first children's book Tales of the Tree People "To tree...or not to tree?" was traditionally published. Shortly after it was published I went through the trouble of sending my second manuscript to Publish America. Because my sales were so low, they wouldn't publish my second book. I had no money for promoting my first book, and I'm a writer, not an agent so I got tired of really trying to promote my book, when I don't care for crowds and I would rather write. I was tired of submitting to traditional publishers and not getting anywhere. Most publishers won't even talk to you without an agent, so I did get an agent, but nothing has happened so far...I decided instead of waiting around for a publisher, why not publish myself for free...I am able to use the illustrations that I did myself as covers for my books. If a traditional publisher were to come along, I could un-publish my books at any time. Why not have my work for sale, while looking for a publisher? It made sense to me...
