[stylist] 28. Self Publishing and Insecurity (Miss Thea)

Phyllis,

My information is solely theory and not practice. The handful of people I
know who self-published and sold their material on Amazon had to purchase an
ISBN. I'm not sure what self-publishers they worked with though.

I believe certain publishers include this in their fees, if applicable.

I'm sure you're much more knowledgeable on this than I am. I've only been
published in literary magazines so far, which is different than traditional
and self publishers.

If you're working through a self-publishing company such as Smash Words or
Amazon your ISBN is free, or at least it was when I went through them a
couple years ago. Also when I published with a regular publisher receiving
an advance against royalties it was included. I'm not trying to dispute
anyone's word, but I don't know what their experience has been nor where
they published, I'm only speaking from my experience, which doubtless is
entirely different from theirs.
