Good morning! Im going to try to start hitting an early morning post each weekday. These will be my “morning jog.” I prefer this to actually going actually outside and actually running. May it give you a reason to stop by here as you settle into work in the morning.

I met someone last night who knows someone who is apparently working on a website to help unpublished authors get published. That’s not what I wanted to talk about this morning. But it did get me to thinking about all of the ways that authors seem to get themselves published these days. I wanted to list all of the
“paths to publishing” that I can think of. Please feel free to suggest any more.

Paths to publishing:

Traditional publishing via a major publishing house
Traditional publishing via a small publishing house
Traditional publishing via an indie publishing house
“True” self-publishing
Subsidy publishing
Vanity publishing
Saddle-stiched at Kinkos (what’s a better name for this?)
eBook

Feel free to suggest more, or discuss these. Perhaps there are sub-categories that lie within some of these?
