There's been a massive increase over the past few years in the number of people wanting to write and publish a book. Not that long ago, the ability to publish your work was limited to those lucky enough to secure an agent and get a publishing deal with one of the established companies. That's no longer the case.
Nowadays, you can choose to self-publish OR go the route known as traditional publishing where you find an agent willing to represent you and try to sell your work to a publishing company that handles all the costs associated with publishing a book. But most people don't see these two methods as different approaches to the same problem. Rather, they see self-publishing as a fallback for when they are struggling to secure an agent or publishing deal.
In reality, both self and traditional publishing have their costs and benefits, and choosing the right one for you from the beginning is important if you want to be successful in the long run. There is a lot of work that goes into self-publishing a book, and if you're not ready for it because you saw it as a simple fallback, you can wind up costing yourself thousands of dollars and years of work.

My name is Josh “Bearheart” Hawk and I’m here to talk about the things most people don’t want to say. On my channel you’ll find vlogs where I discuss everything from politics to science and religion (among a ton of other topics). I’ve also got some gaming content, some stories and other videos I’ve created as I’ve spent the past few years trying to learn this whole YouTube thing.

Outside of YouTube I’m also an author. You can find my books on Amazon today!
