There’s traditional publishing and there’s self-publishing. Both paths have their pluses and minuses.
One thing you’ll hear is that, if you want your writing to be respected and have the potential to go far, you need to go the traditional publishing route.
In response to that concept, here’s a list of fifteen books that were originally self-published
Ulysses by James Joyce
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
Walden by Henry David Thoreau
Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. and his student E.B. White
The Joy of Cooking by Irma Starkloff Rombauer
The Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller
The One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson
The Celestine Prophesy by Jame Redfield
The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans
