Say YES to Self-Publishing: Top Three 
Reasons Why You Should Do So 
Copyright © 2014 LitFire Publishing
Aspiring authors who got rejected by 
traditional publishers go to self-publishing. 
But that’s all in the past. At present, a lot of 
writers are now self-publishing their books; 
even those best-seller authors. Here are the 
top three reasons why you should also 
consider self-publishing:

1. You have control over your work.

1. You have control over your work. 
• No one will tell you what to do or what not to 
Copyright © 2014 LitFire Publishing 
do. 
• You get to write and work on your own pace. 
• Everything about your book will follow 
according to your preference. 
• You own all rights to your book. So, you can 
print more copies of it anytime you want.
2. You manage your own time.

2. You manage your own time. 
• Publishing a book with traditional publishers 
usually take a long time. 
• It takes a year or more to print your manuscript 
if you're working with a traditional publisher. 
• But if you self-publish your book, you can 
manage your own time.

3. The profit is all yours.

3. The profit is all yours. 
• A large publisher may support the publishing 
process but they will only give you a percentage 
of the sales or the so-called royalty (usually 5%- 
15% of book sales). 
• But if you self-publish, all of your book’s sales 
profit will be yours. 
Bonus: If your book becomes a best-seller, you can 
have an advantage when traditional publishers are 
offering you a contract.
