What does profitable publishing look like to you? Is it signing a publishing deal with a major publisher like Amanda Hocking did after proving her marketability through self-publishing? Or maybe it’s upstaging trade publishers by selling more books as a self-publisher than they ever sold for you. That’s Mark Dawson‘s story. Is it seeing your paperback or hardcover for sale on the shelves of “bricks and mortar” bookstores?
