the Stigma of Self Publishing

the Stigma

 I have experienced the stigma of self publishing and find it frustrating to deal with. Yes. I did pay to have my books published. It isn't a free process. I came to the decision to publish on my own after doing research and finding only two publishers accepting submissions of picture books. I did send in my manuscript to both of these publishers and received back a standard form letter rejection stating that they only publish a few picture books a year and that mine would not be one of them, that this had nothing to do with the quality of my work, blah blah blah.
