As an author who considered traditional publishing at one time, I am now the author of two self-published books with another one on the way very soon to publication. I was never misled in believing my books would be on bookshelves everywhere in the country, but I did understand that I was responsible for the success of my book by heading up the marketing myself. Personally, I love that aspect of self-publishing. This is an exciting undertaking for Thomas Nelson and AuthorHouse and just another example of the innovative results generated by all the visionaries on the leadership teams at both companies.
