So as you know I self published my books. This came at a slight cost, for creating the covers for the books, but didn't cost too much, which is why I did it. I've thought about traditionally publishing, but never thought someone would pick my work up and take it on-board. I sent my manuscript to several publishing companies, and I've had replies fro a few. This was amazing to start with, until I read the contracts properly. One company is asking me for £2,600 to publish my book, and the other is asking over £3000. Now while I would love to see my own book on the shelves of WHSmiths and Waterstones, I simply do not have that kind of money to spend, and without a guarantee that my books would even sell and make me the money back. So it looks like I'm staying self published. I'd love to hear your stories on traditional publishing, good or bad if you have them
