Self Publishing Model Self Publishing used to be known as Vanity Press. Today, technology has made it more readily available. Most of the Self Publishing companies require you, the author to be accountable for the entire process. You must determine the following: Who will format your book and design its cover? Who will perform your file conversions and uploads? Who will print, market and distribute your books? Who will perform your editing? Will you have an opportunity to review and approve it before it gets published? If you hire a Self Publishing company, their services have hidden costs and how will you know which Package you need? Package 1($), Package 2($$), Package 3($$$)
