Anna Crosbie has first-hand experience of the advantages and disadvantages of self-publishing. She also has first-hand experience of the bonuses and pitfalls of having someone else publish your book for you. Her first book Feng Shite: A Little Book of House Messing (Boxtree) has sold over 50,000 copies. Her most recent self-published book, Britain's Hot Potato: A Boiled Down Guide to the European Union, has sold 4000 copies to date - with limited help from its miniscule marketing budget!
