The world of independent publishing is vast and can be confusing. For example, are independent publishing and self-publishing the same thing? Well, sometimes.

Although I am not an expert on the ins and outs and pros and cons of self-publishing, I periodically research the options and alternatives, and many of my clients have opted to self-publish. So, I am happy to provide guidance and do more extensive research if a client requests it.

For those living in the Portsmouth, New Hampshire, area who would like a direct connection with an independent publisher, I recommend Piscataqua Press, a project of RiverRun Bookstore. Piscataqua Press produces high-quality hardcovers and trade paperbacks, and the books are also available as ebooks. I offer editorial services at a 15% discount to authors who have contracted to publish with Piscataqua Press.
