Self-publishing continues to grow in popularity - tech news site CNET have just published this article with a list of advice on doing it right: "
Self-publishing a book: 25 things you need to know". Executive Editor David Carnoy tells of his experience in self-publishing his novel
Knife Music through Booksurge, offering words of wisdom for anyone else interested. Though he mentions Lightning Source as an option for the serious self-publisher, he concentrates on Booksurge/Createspace and Lulu because he was "less concerned about making money from this venture and more interested in putting together a well-packaged product that I wouldn't be embarrassed to sell." Four months down the track, his agent was able to sell the book to a mainstream publisher.
