If you're deciding between self-publishing and working with an indie horror press, listen to this episode.

Author/small press owner SC Mendes and author Lucy Leitner discuss what you can expect from each publishing route.

Marketing skills for effective book promotions: What can a small press do that you can't do yourself? How much time should you expect to devote to marketing as an author? Can a small press reputation help sell your book? Investment: How much money will you need to invest to have a professional self-published product? Control: How much control do you retain when working with a small press? Why does this matter?
