QUESTION: Which path did you take: Trad, Indie, or Hybrid? And what led you to that choice?
Zenobia Renquist said:
Back when I debuted in 2007, self-publishing wasn’t really an option. Small press publishers like Samhain Publishing were the new thing and ebooks were just gaining ground with readers who were used to print.
Fast forward a few years and Musa Publishing closed it’s doors, leaving the only book I had published with them an orphan. By this point, self-publishing was well established and a viable means for an author to get their books out there. So, I took Wine Service, gave it a new cover, changed the name to VIP Room Service and released it myself.
That first release was an eye-opening experience that taught me self-publishing wasn’t that hard or horrible. It’s a lot of work, sure, but well worth it to have the freedom and control over my cover, release date, price, and everything else.
Since 2015, other small press publishing houses I was with have closed. My first thought upon getting my rights back was to put the titles out myself. It’s slow going because I want to rework some titles and completely overhaul others. However, I’m up to the challenge, and soon those titles will be back out there.
