"Self-publishing is for losers."  Huh?!  

If you've heard this statement or one like it, you might believe the lie that self-publishing is for authors who "aren't good enough" to be traditionally published.   

Today's message is for first-time authors who *think* a traditional publishing package and being a "real author" will fix them.   

Here are three signs you too might be in this place:   

1) Worried your work isn't good enough, that your writing isn't up to par 

2) Can't seem to get yourself to write, even though you desperately want to finish a book 

3) Overwhelmed by the process of self-publishing--not sure how to get from point A to Z and have information overload.
