Kate, thanks for this. One thing I have loved about the dreaded self-publishing, although I'm aware that even uttering that phrase puts the mark of the beast on my forehead, is the business side: Getting a book printed well at an affordable rate, and in the US, was just one of many challenges. Glad I went this route, though, for reasons that would turn this comment into an unwelcome essay! Appreciate your insights.
I'm still 100% physical books over here!! Thanks for another illuminating newsletter!

Nice reminder about how books exist in the physical world and the constraints that imposes. Thanks for expanding the word-count discourse!
