There are so many negative viewpoints about traditional publishing from so called experts. How about, for a change, some facts from an author who has actually been traditionally published since 2015. People are quick to paint it as evil, confrontational, and a difficult and painful experience. Today I debunk some more myths that people are keen to promote, in order to give a biased opinion about it, in favour of self or indy publishing. The truth is both approaches have positive and negative aspects.
TIMESTAMPS:
0:11 - Authors have no power
2:28 - Editorial clash
7:34 - No room for white authors
10:26 Need connections to get published
12:29 Trad publishing doesn't pay authors
