Should I self-publish or traditionally publish? That's among the questions answered in this month's Members Q&A and Self-Publishing News Salon with Orna Ross, followed by Dan Holloway's news roundup.
Other questions this month include:
I am now published. Do I need to change my membership? I want to write a biographical story that exposes racism I experienced, but I don't want to be sued for libel. How do I avoid that?
How do I preserve reviews if I publish a second edition of my book? What website service does ALLi recommend to create my ecommerce website? Where can I find the IngramSpark promo code for ALLi Members? And more!
Also, News Editor Dan Holloway updates us on changes in ebook sales taxes and platform updates at Apple and IngramSpark.
