Self publishing no longer necessarily means ”vanity’ publishing and in the US last year more titles were self-published than published (240,000: 230,000).

To help budding authors, the Writers & Artists Yearbook, which has long been a trusted work available to consult or borrow from the library service has launched a new section on its website aimed at helping writers become self published and achieving their literary dreams.

Interviews on self-publishing

Plus a comparision engine for researching the following topics:

• Editorial
