Publishing independently shouldn't be that expensive. Not compared to a publishing house who will take pretty much any profit and your firstborn too. I'm curious as to how/where you got this idea? Unless you're going for print, which yes, is expensive. Lightning Source (from what I recall) is reasonably priced and some platforms charge on what your earn as an author, not an upfront fee. That said, I haven't looked at this stuff for a long time, so maybe it's changed...I like to type casually because thats what I do, and no I haven’t drawn any of the drawings I’ve shared in relation to my novel. I commissioned them from the artist I mentioned, and I don’t have my novels published because I am continuing to work on them as publishing independently costs a lot of money. Again I do understand how my manner of speaking can come across in a negative connotation considering the day and age we are in. ?
