Authors don't just choose partnership publishing or self-publishing because their manuscripts have been rejected by mainstream publishers. Many savvy authors choose the alternative publishing routes so that they can keep control of their work, get published quicker and make more money. The advantages of starting off through partnership publishing are vast. Indeed, history is full of best selling authors (inc. Deepak Chopra, Louise Hay, Beatrix Potter and Virgina Wolff) that chose the partnership or self-publishing model to catapault their works into the public domain.
