[stylist] Publishing advice.

[Julie J.]

There are many, many options.  You can get your book listed individually 
with retailers like Amazon, B&N etc.  Not all retailers accept 
independent submissions directly from the author though.  So there are 
companies like Book Baby and Smash Words and oodles of others, that you 
submit your book to and they do the work of getting it listed with 
retailers.  These companies all get commissions of course.  Still it is 
very little compared to a print book publisher.  Or if you are so 
inclined you can set up your own web site and sell it directly 
completely independently or through a service like Click Bank.  
Generally the more work you do yourself the greater the profits.

Personally I'm planning on using Smash Words and supplementing that with 
marketing of my own.
