Self-publishing is the publication of any book or other media by the author of the work, without the involvement of a traditional third-party publisher. The author assumes all financial risk for the publication, and owns the copyright. In self-publishing, the author is responsible and in control of the entire process including overseeing design (cover/book insides), price, and doing their own distribution and marketing.
