The Happy Writer 69: Benefits of selfpublishing The Happy Writer

    • Books

This episode of The Happy Writer mentions some of the main benefits that I have experienced when selfpublishing, something that does not get talked about often enough: that you are liberated from the feeling that you have little chance of landing a deal and the world is rigged against you. You learn to not stake your emotional wellbeing on the chances or the outcome of a submission, and that makes you a happier person.

Here is the article I referred to in the episode:
