Summary: This month we've heard from an attorney who examines and compares self-publishing contracts and an entrepreneur who runs his own self-publishing company. Today we hear from an author who has chosen to self-publish her books. Lyda Phillips is an award-winning journalist, novelist, and screenwriter who has written two award-winning young adult novels: Mr. Touchdown and Peace I Ask of Thee, Oh River, as well as several unpublished novels for both young readers and adults. Join Lyda and host Paula B. for a first-hand look at a self-publishing experience, including: * Why she decided to self-publish * What the production process was like * How she got reviews * How she got her books into libraries * What obstacles she's faced as a self-published author * How she thinks authors can improve self-publishing's image * How she thinks iUniverse could help its authors more * What she's learned from her self-publishing experience * Why she's now looking for a mainstream publisher.
