	There is no point in worrying if you get rejected from major publishers you approach for publishing your work. Remember that about 99% of authors get rejected even after spending so much time and money in creating and mailing out professional and well organized presentation kits to hundreds of publishers. Even if you manage to get a publisher to publish your work, you will receive a small advance wherein your book hits the bookstore shelves. Your book is promoted by the store for a few months only and in the end you are left with only one advance and nothing more. This is why most authors are today deciding to take their careers into their own hands as self-published authors. If you opt for self-publishing, you have the benefit of keeping the rights of the book with you. On selling your books you get to earn anywhere between 40 – 60% profit for the book, in addition to about 10% in royalties. It is important that you work at promoting your book and schedule engagements wherever it is sold. As a self-published author, you earn more money on each copy of the book that you sell. You also get to control your career and work as you need not worry or depend on publishers to publish and promote your book. As a self-published author, you earn yourself real credentials and a track record that you can use to show major publishing companies if you have to approach them for a book deal in the future. It is because of all these advantages that today more and more authors prefer to become self-published authors than becoming traditionally published authors. This is because of the control you earn over your career as a writer and the amount of profit you earn on your book sales.
