I write for fun and dream of publishing my first book what’s better self publishing or another publishing place if I want to keep all rights and works
If you want to maintain the rights or control of your content from cover to story, your best bet is self-publishing. However, keep in mind that you will be responsible for finding talented vendors for design and formatting to make sure your final product is of high quality. Traditional publishing does get author input but they do contract the rights to your story where you won’t own it until that contract expires. Best of luck in your journey!
