A Cardiff graduate author who pulled out of a deal from a traditional publisher explains how much you can gain from self-publishing.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Daniel Parsons <\/strong><\/a>had dreamt of being an author since the age of 16. He studied English Literature, and is now an independent author having published four books with a fifth one coming out next month.
\n\u201cI pulled out of the deal with the traditional publisher because I just preferred the flexibility of self-publishing,\u201d says Daniel. \u201cYou can sort of control price and things like that, so it makes a lot more sense for me when I advertise it.\u201d
\nNow he prefers self-publishing over traditional publishing. \u201cAs I discovered how much more beneficial it can be to be self-published. I sort of gravitated towards that,\u201d he explains.
\nLondon Book Fair 2017<\/a>, the annual biggest publishing trade fair in the UK, was held from 14 March for three days, which is a huge opportunity for independent authors to make connections.
\nDaniel has been one of the visitors since 2015.
