Self publishing

I published The Library Book, the first time, in 2006. I didn't try to find an agent because I knew the competition was fierce, and I was an unknown writer. Five years ago self-publishing was growing in acceptance. Now, as I publish the Centennial Edition of The Library Book, self-publishing as common and accepted. Social media have brought marketing into the hands of the authors. Self publishing is an authentic method for valuable contributions to be added to the literary canon.
