Hi everyone! Tonight I have a special treat for you! One of the topics that has been buzzing around the writing community lately is the various paths to publication. There are so many different avenues a writer can take to publish their work, and it's super important to be informed of the various aspects of each. Whatever path you choose--agent/publisher, self-pub, indie publishing house, etc--it's so important to do your research and make sure you are choosing the best path for YOU and YOUR BOOK. So, I asked my AMAZING critique partner, J.M. Miller, to do a guest post on why she chose the path of self-publication. But before we get to her post, let me tell you a little bit about her: J.M

Need some supernatural guidance to your everyday problems? Ask John Charming! Dear John, Is there a supernatural way to train my lover to put the seat down? -Fed up with Falling In Dear Fed, Hmmmn. If you were a wolf you could just pee on the object of contention to mark your territory, but since we’re talking about a toilet, that probably wouldn’t get your point across.

First, let me tell you a little bit about Brenda: Brenda Drake, the youngest of three children, grew up an Air Force brat and the continual new kid at school until her family settled in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Brenda’s fondest memories growing up are of her eccentric, Irish grandmother’s animated tales, which gave her a strong love for storytelling. So,
