Pachuco Press

So - after much research and advice from those in the biz, an looking at what Tor and other publishers get versus what they give authors, I'm going to go ahead and self-publish.

i should already have learned this lesson from my time the music business and dealings with labels but no, I had to learn it again.

It just makes so much more sense from both a creative and business standpoint. Just taxes alone make it worthwhile not to mention - just as with records and labels - you make more selling 500 copies than you do 5,000 ... and that's with selling the books at less than half what a publishing house would market them at.

With that said, expect me to be bothering you all a lot more in the near future. I'm absolutely awful at doing self-promotion but then again, so are all the publishers I've investigated. I was gobsmacked to find friends of mine - acclaimed authors with shelves full of Very Impressive Awards were getting almost zero promo push by their publishers.

Well s**t - I can do that .... and I won't charge myself anything for the service.

Talk soon -
