But I'm interested in doing some self-publishing and thought I'd check out DU's Writing Group for any info on it as I begin to research it.

So you've had a good experience with self-publishing? I was thinking of going through Amazon. What has your experience with it been like (the good, the bad, and the ugly)?

I'd appreciate any advice for a newbie in self-publishing that you'd care to share.

By the way, I have experience in "the old-fashioned way" of publishing.
