One Author's Publishing Tale

Since I've been in this industry, I've heard a lot of the good and bad but on occasion I get another casual note explaining some of the reasons "why" an author choose to publish their work independently.

Many times it's only a private word sent along with a quick thanks or something like that but now and then I'm alerted by someone who has taken the time to write about their adventures and publish it on their own site for others to read and hopefully glean some inspiration from.

Such is this recent memo from a Brazilian gentleman who wrote a lengthy article of sorts about his own experiences in the process and provides his thoughts on topics like researching, finding an agent, book doctors, translating, copyrighting, querying, submission packages, independent publishing, etc.
