Hello! I have just finished book one and two of a YA Paranormal Romance series and I'm trying to decide which route to go... Self publish on amazon kindle, or send in to an agency/publishing house?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks
I don't think this is the right section for this question.
But it's been noted that YA is extremely difficult to sell in the self-publishing market. The readership is made up of teens who don't have access to credit cards to buy ebooks and librarians who buy books based on reviews in library periodicals--which rarely if ever review self-pub books.
I highly recommend querying agents and seeing what happens from there. Self-publishing isn't a decision to be made based on rejections or reading articles about the money to be made. The successful self-published authors out there today are those who started out treating their decision like a business--setting up a production schedule, hiring editors, buying cover art, creating a newsletter, studying branding and promotion, etc.
