Internalized self-pub-o-phobia
Oct. 29th, 2014 11:01 amI have noticed an unsettling trend with myself lately. I have been doing a lot of eBook searches, looking for reading material. What I've noticed is, if I get the impression from the price/book description that a book is self-published, I have a tendency to think, "The writing is probably crap," and pass it by.
And I myself have a self-published novel.
I think we're past the point where one can assume that books that have not been accepted by a publisher are a sign of a weak writer. And yet, that lingering assumption remains in my head.
You'd think, for $2.99, or 0.99, I could take a chance on a book. I'd want a reader to do the same for me.
