Author
Bio
Michelle Abbott lives in the UK and
hates describing herself in 3rd person. She's a self-published author who loves
to write new adult romance about heroes who begin as the underdog and are
protective of their girl. She's an avid reader of romance, is addicted to
coffee and loves wine and chocolate, so yeah, not the most healthy eating and
drinking habits :-) She spends way too much time online when she should be
writing. She collects teddy bears and occasionally knits a couple of rows on a
sweater she started years ago, which she may eventually finish in time to wear
for her funeral.
Why I
Self-Publish
Authors
self-publish for a variety of reasons. Some have been rejected by trad
publishers, some self-publish in the hope of getting noticed by a trad
publisher, and there are hybrid authors who have a foot in both camps. I don’t
fall into any of those groups. I’ve never sought an agent, or contacted a
publisher. From the start I knew I wanted to be self-published.
Why? Because I’m
a control freak. I want to decide when to release my books. I want to choose
how I price them. I don’t want to work to someone else’s deadlines. I like to
choose my own covers, titles, and decide on my own word count. Most important
of all, I want complete control over the content.
My stories are
gritty. They all contain cuss words and content suitable for 17+. Some of my
stories have violence, and I wouldn’t want to have to tone them down. My
characters have stories that need to be told. If I had to dumb them down, it
would suck all the joy out of my writing.
Why did you
decide to self-publish?
