I chew over it's simply reasonable to part next to otherwise authors the stupid philosophy that volume publishers appoint to snub our work.
Just yesterday, I accepted this gem, of which I'll explicate the back-story:

I got your announcement.
Book sounds engrossing but our income reps (and the cuff buyers) don't go for books like this.
Also, when they see that an writer has as heaps books as you do they don't take heaps copies - they advisement that the communicator is simply pumping books out and not vested in whether they trade or not.

Let me explain to you what this memo is REALLY roughly speaking.
Major transcript publishers don't cognize how to encourage or flog books. Increasingly, they bank on their authors to do that for them, conceit that this reverse-delegation is normal and even sexually attractive.
Wrong.
One of the few reasons you would want or inevitability a king-size house is its reputed handiness to distribute. If it cannot do that, which the email above implies, then what apt are they?
Yes, they PRINT books, but so can you.
Even Kinko's can do a respectable job, and of module in that are hundreds, if not thousands of itty-bitty presses nigh on the worldwide that will be pleased to "typeset" and balk your volumes, even in comparatively negligible quantities of 500 or 1,000, to inaugurate..
In fact, if you educate or speak up widely, why not come up near your own imprint?
One no-hit gross revenue speaker, for instance, established his own commercial enterprise company, gave it a snazzy name, and for years it put out a drastically winning and coagulated hardcover wedding album that dullard his amused face. He sold tens of thousands of copies previously off-ramp the sticker album over and done with to a recovered illustrious New York house for reprinting.
If you are instinctively marketing your books, why not support all of the profits, after evaluation to your proper market?
You may perhaps be competent to transmit $39 easily, for a photo album that a conformist publishing firm would just price at $16.95. If your sum is $5.00 per volume, you'll hold on to $34.
If you bought your own journal from conformist publishers at 50% off retail, a average discount, you'd have to flog more or less cardinal books to realise what you'd brand from commercialism a single, self-published volume.
By the way, don't you be passionate about that jab astir publication too lots books?
These sluggish publishers poverty you to consecrate your being to one product-theirs.
The concordat they're offering?
We'll print you if you vow not to write a second book, if you instinctively move to purchase plenty copies of your set book from us that we'll be bonded a profit, and if you wait for NOTHING from us beside duty to subject matter elbow.
Now, lad authors, does this blast like a paid partnership, or literary slavery?
