I’ve been thinking about whether using a book publishing service is the right choice for authors today. Does it actually simplify the publishing process, or does it limit creative control? For first-time writers, is it helpful to have structured guidance, or is learning independently more beneficial? How do authors evaluate quality, transparency, and value before committing? I’d love to hear real experiences can a book publishing service genuinely support long-term success, or does the outcome still depend mostly on the author’s own efforts?
