As you so rightly say, writing and reading books has never been hotter, which is great for all of us.<br />Self-publishing and E-books have opened so many doors for writers, but the biggest benefit for me is that I can control everything about my books and my writing business.Rena Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520149404274102132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611561027305931377.post-69867140139750589232015-07-17T20:22:47.989+01:002015-07-17T20:22:47.989+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Catherine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275730643138842667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611561027305931377.post-66211197949589264512015-07-16T10:40:44.604+01:002015-07-16T10:40:44.604+01:00Thank you Sheryl!

It's true what you say about digital and how fast things can happen.<br />Though I still buy books I just love the feel and texture of them.

Yes, I have all my self-published books in paperback and I have print on demand paperbacks with my traditional publishers too.

If it wasn't for digital publishing I wouldn't be sitting here with three books under my belt. I could have submitted the agents and spent years trying to find the right publisher. And in a way I have - it's New Romantics Press. I have always followed your career with interest Mandy and I'm thrilled that you have had so much success. The nice thing with Amazon/Create Space is you can have paperbacks too.
