Hi Jason, the thing about the traditional route is the pub house and you have the same goal: sell as many books as possible. So while the author doesn’t have the control they have with indie, ultimately the decisions made by the pubbing house are for the good of the work…even if you feel like your project is getting watered down. Also, there is a certain sense of validation to being published traditionally.

However, I did love being able to trust my gut and remaining true to the vision of the work I created…And working at a reasonable speed — not waiting 18 months to bring a complete manuscript to market.

Both have plusses and minuses, and I wouldn’t strongly say I favor one over the other, though I will be interested to compare the sales numbers once it comes out.
