independent publishing

Independent publishing refers to the process of publishing books, magazines, or other written works outside of traditional publishing houses. Authors or small organizations take on the responsibility of producing, distributing, and promoting their content. This approach allows for greater creative control and can lead to a diverse range of voices and topics. Independent publishing has grown with the rise of digital platforms, enabling writers to reach audiences directly without the need for a major publisher's backing, thus fostering innovation and uniqueness in literature and media.
