I just felt that it's better to have someone pay you than to spend thousands of dollars on something I really didn't have the resources to market properly. <br /><br />Plus, I get the added advantage of having publishing companies resources behind me, which can amount to much better sales in the long run. <br /><br />I also work with professional editors, get professional artists for my book covers - and I don't have to pay for any of it. <br /><br />The key is persistence and of course, a good story.Toby Tatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638727947848188666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4661445706008045286.post-38248968271685526472012-06-17T02:00:27.557-07:002012-06-17T02:00:27.557-07:00I wish I could draw too!

I know it is possible to hire an illustrator, however they are expensive!<br /><br />I'm in the same boat & trying to work out which way to go also.Melissahttp://www.melissawrites.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
