•  “It’s one thing that writers should learn early on”

New authors might be tempted to try self-publishing after getting ignored by traditional book publishers.
Is that they way to go and what pitfalls are there if that road is taken?
One self-published author who says she is seeing success is Angela Orams of Los Angeles, who writes children’s books.
In Bizgnus Interviews, she talks about the challenges of self-publishing.

Ms. Orams newest book, “Sneaky Sophie and the Token Fairy,” is part of a wider plan to have readers weave the lessons of the story into everyday life.  It also opens new revenue streams.
The book comes in a kit with a variety of tokens, some designed to be given to children after losing a tooth, others have messages of encouragement that can be given as a surprise or a reward for doing good deeds.
But there’s another critical element that makes for a successful book, she says: editing.
“Anything that anyone does involving writing requires editing,” Ms. Orams says.  She says she uses a professional editor after she has self-edited several times.
Editing is a continuous process, she says. “It’s one thing that writers should learn early on.”
