On May 21st, 2009, Irene Watson and Victor R. Volkman interviewed Pete Masterson, veteran book designer, publisher, and owner of Aeonix Publishing Group. We had a wide-ranging discussion of all things vanity press, subsidy publishing, co-publishing, and employing a “self-publishing” company. Key discussion points included:
- The pros and cons of traditional large or medium sized commercial trade publishers.
- The pros (very few) and cons (many many) of subsidy publishers (or “self-publishing companies” as they’re calling themselves these days).
- Discuss the pros and cons of a do it yourself self-publishing process — with or without help from a book coach, packager, etc.
