        Heidi...
        You are quite welcome.

        I'm glad you found it on the newsfeed.

        That decision to self publish or wait is always on our minds.

    Heidi
    I enjoyed reading your thoughts on this one.

    The expense for advertising, etc is a great point.

        Heidi...
        I think that it would be time consuming for an individual to advertise.

        Much better if a company did all that for you, but with self publishing...You do everything yourself.

    Heidi always gives us good information when it comes to publishing or even publicizing books.   In this case she shows us what it will NOT do for us.  Thanks, Brenda, for sharing her work with us.
