1 – Who send their manuscript to traditional publishers and wait patiently for them to select their work..
2 – Who go for self publication..!
I am done with the 2nd on Amazon, and waiting patiently for the 1st.. !
And do you know what the difference is?
I took an effort, and then I am waiting patiently while people don’t take a step ahead.. and they want to hit the top !
The Speaking Diary 
I have self published two books. I used two different self publishing firms. I tried traditional publishing but they said I needed an agent. I tried getting an agent and was not able to at the point in time. This next time I have lots of agents to contact to get a traditional book publishing contract or not. I wish you success my friend.

I self published through Smashwords, easy and affordable, have only sold 3 books since last May. I have tried several publishing companies, they wanted heaps of money up front – no money given by me. It is disappointing when you have put endless time into writing a book and then come up with barriers.
