Let's use successful authors who went either way as examples to compare these two publishing approaches.<\/p><p>Self published authors have more autonomy and control over the entire process when they self publish. By taking this path, authors can avoid the lengthy waiting times associated with submitting their work to traditional publishers, such as <strong>E.L. James, the author of \u201cFifty Shades of Grey\u201d<\/strong>. Following its success, a traditional publisher acquired \u201cFifty Shades\u201d, which E.L. James had first self published as an ebook. Authors can develop a direct-to-consumer following and keep a personal relationship with their readers by <a href=\"https:\/\/acebookwriters.com\/self-publishing\">self publishing on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p><p>However, traditional publishing provides expert assistance that can help a book reach new heights, including editing, marketing, and book distribution. The resources of a major publishing business were advantageous to authors such as <strong>J.K. Rowling, who signed with Bloomsbury for \u201cHarry Potter\u201d<\/strong>.
