The major criticism of self-publishing as an alternative to traditional or hybrid publishing is that it lacks some sort of gatekeeper to ensure the highest quality. In other words, authors choose to publish themselves; they are not subject to selection or ‘acquisition’, which can lead to low quality. In truth, traditional publishing is not without its ‘howlers’, but, overall, it is fair to admit that most self-published books in our time do fall below that general standard expected of published work, sometimes well below. This is a pity since the resources are readily available for all writers to become respected authors if they choose to commit time and money to doing the right thing. And the right thing is to find professional consultants capable of understanding the vision of a given book and guiding it to an appropriate level of excellence. There is no one-size-fits-all in any kind of publishing.
