Write the Story You Want to Read

Knowledge   Write the Story You Want to Read Self-publishing platforms in Korea: The reasons for growth and the current state   2024.11.04         “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” - Toni Morrison, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993   While there is no established academic definition, “self-publishing” refers to authors planning, editing, publishing, and distributing their own manuscripts without working through a publishing company.
