It can be expensive though hence why I DIY. I do have a group people can join and network with each other here http://www.facebook.com/TheCreativePenn Thanks, Joanna Hi Jane,

Also, congratulations on your 1-year anniversary. In your quiz I suggested a question about agents and wanted to clarify: is there a possible role for an internet agent - similar to what you've been doing advising aspiring authors but more active on the publicity side? For example, I write about archetypes in daily life (among other things) on my blog, which can be accessed from my website myth.me.uk but which blogspot have not made easy to find! Maybe you could set up a Penn Friends Group which we could all network through. The benefits to you are obviously concerned with well-deserved publicity for your site, and you can probably see other opportunities too..... Incredibly helpful material and very inspirational!

Thanks for the wealth of info and tips on self publishing. I have just finished a labour of love (35000 words) and am considering whether to self publish or to attempt the more traditional route. The latter oddly seems more daunting to me as I am fairly internet savvy. What's interesting to me is the psychology around this decision. It feels to me that the traditional route offers earlier "validation" than self-publication. What I mean is, to answer the question "Is my book any good?", the traditional route would seem to offer a quicker answer than self-publication.
