What is a "self-published" Author?
Definition: Self-publishing refers to an author completing the entire publishing process—including printing, editing, proofreading, formatting, cover design, and book marketing—on their own or with their own resources. This is done without the help of a traditional publisher or publishing company.
(Incidentally, there are now "self-publishing" companies that offer assistance packages for those who want them.)
The only "assistance" I receive is from my Beta Readers, who provide feedback on my rough storylines before the Master Manuscripts are finalized. This has the added benefit of providing further proof these works are mine, should it ever be required for copyright reasons.
I chose to do all this by myself, despite the huge learning curve that is required because of finances. Publishing traditionally is very, very expensive initially.
