Writer Jackie Collins on Self-Publishing...

[MJ DeMarco]

And some other Fastlane tidbits.

PS: Jackie Collins is a best selling millionaire author in the world of romance novels.

On my decision to self-publish

Publishers are in the publishing business to make money (and that’s a good thing). But remember that their goal is NOT to make your dreams of being an author come true.

I was thrown out of school for poor grades and playing truant, although I always came in top in writing class. Everybody told me I couldn’t be a writer unless I studied more and went to college.
I said, “No way, I’m following my dream. Writing is my passion.”
Turns out, people don’t buy books because you went to college. They buy books for the characters and the story. (And dammit, I can tell a great story!)
