CNET Executive Editor Defends Self-Publishing
Despite his agent's advice, the executive editor of CNET Reviews self-published his first novel.
In a CNET essay, David Carnoy describes why he took his thriller Knife Music to BookSurge after running a Consumer Reports-style analysis of the major print-on-demand companies.
In his quest, Carnoy also utilized Amazon's pricey but interesting "Buy X, Get Y" feature--a key part of Amazon's power in the self-publishing market. Read Carnoy's insights here:
"I worked on it for several years, acquired a high-powered agent, had some brushes with major publishers, then, crickets. ... Against the advice of my agent, I began perusing the big self-publishing companies' Web sites and evaluating what they had to offer."
