After all the work that goes into it (oh god, the editing and re-writes), I still vote giving the traditional route a try, esp with all the things you have going for you (successful blog, good numbers on Bang, newsletter subscribers, interesting genre, etc). That’s a hellva query letter right there!

There are differing opinions about publishing houses being cool with self-published books (as in, buying them after the face), but I hear a lot of nays in that regard.

I know it may seem like it takes too long, but having an agent to navigate and get you MORE money as well as encourage & work with you as a writer for the long haul is invaluable.

Either way, very good luck to you, brah :)

i second what another commenter wrote above. why not do the indie and traditional publishing route simultaneously? roissy's last blog post: Decivilizing: Human Nature Unleashed.

Roosh,

Check out this site. It’s pretty detailed in regard to internet publishing.

You should self-publish your book on to Amazons Kindle…..there are people who would be willing to pay a lower price for an ebook edition. It’s also more convenient than a paper book.

cane you do the whole indie route thing and then a year later apply for publication? such as applying for publication of Bang now?

You’re in the wrong initials…BC instead of DC..

This guy grows plants for a living (part time) and makes twice as much as me..(and you??)

“Every two to three months, John harvests some 8lbs (3.6kg) of his crop, worth about $20,000.

So even if he didn’t work at other jobs, that nets him a tidy salary (untaxed of course) of about $80,000 a year.”

It’s based on my south america trip. It’s turning out like a travel book and Bang combined into one

I guess people dont spread the word about your book because they just want to keep the lessons for themselves so they can have an edge over everyone else. Otherwise, Bang! would have sold a lot better this far. By the way, what’s your second book about?

500 is not bad for a person who started out just blogging. Great book by the way. your a great writer so if you see books in your future, maybe you can start hanging out at spots taht publishers hang out at and start fucking an assitant or something, but if you plan on writing more books… make it official.

Do it your way. That's the way you've been going with most things you do, and by the time the book goes through a long publishing process you might have lost momentum on the topic and not care about it anymore.
