I realize I'm a year late in reading this, I've also interested in self-publishing. But it seems that any article I read that discusses it makes it appear more dire than going the "traditional" publishing house route. I would hate for my book to be changed in any way I think it unnecessary, but I feel powerless as an author, especially in the internet age. Thank you for this post Brad.
