I’ve been involved with “publishing” for a number of years and lecture once a month to about 480+ authors in the Washington DC area on everything from self-publishing to how to promote your books. I’ve been through all aspects of publishing while working to get my husband in print (Michael Sulliavn author of: The Crown Conspiracy, Avempartha,and Nyphron Rising). Recently, I formed my own small press (Ridan Publishing: http://www.ridanpublishing.com). Many of the authors I pick up for Ridan are previously self-published authors.
