The World of Self-Publishing

If you're thinking of self-publishing, you are in good company. "Famous Authors Who Self-Published" takes a look at the world of self-publishing through success stories of authors, such as Beatrix Potter and Edgar Allen Poe, who started their careers by self-publishing their masterpieces.

Other successful authors who self-published are Mark Twain and G.P. Taylor (read article about Harry Potter's Successor here). The latter is a modern-day success story (though he would never "toot" his own horn) having sold the film rights to his young adult novel "Shadowmancer" to Universal for close to $6M. Nice!
