Self Publishing: No longer a vanity affair

 “What I say to people now is, you can make a book tonight,” says Gittins. “For less than the cost of a pizza, just make a book and get it back and see what you think. Do you like the paper? The printing? Don’t think of it as, “The Book,” think of it as a maquette. You can send that out to publishers, too.  It may not be the be-all, end-all design, but it shows the work curated in a way that makes sense.”
