I'm seriously considering self-publishing from now on. I can design promo and sales websites, design covers, typeset the book, market it via social media.

All I need is a printer and a warehouse, and how hard can it be to get that? Or just do it digital-only.

The entire industry seems swamped with needless delays, needless expenses, and needless layers of managers and editors.

@chrisdocstrange I'll look into it. 3 quick questions

- Would you do it again?
- Was it worthwhile, financially?
- Did it end up being a massive ball-ache?

@RussInCheshire the books sell slowly, I use Amazon prime when I need copies myself and they're pretty cheap.

My problem was publicity and I never launched it.

With KDP you get paid monthly on both book and kindle. You can also do Audible if you get it recorded.
