My book, my way
by Tom Cantwell
I went for it and it worked. I won honorable mention in the Writer's Digest International Self-Published Book Contest - finishing in the top 5 out of over 500 entries. My book is called "The Seminole and the Slave" - a young adult novel set in Florida in the 1830's. I really enjoyed being completely in control of the entire creative process, from cover to layout to not compromising any of the content. I started my own business - Terrapin Press - and published through a local printshop which unfortunately went out of business. I transfered my account to Minuteman Press and so far so good. One thing I've learned is that I still have a lot to learn about running a business. I'll pursue traditional publishing with my next book, but it's nice to know this option is always there for me.
