Lastly, if there is time and people willing, Jones and I would explain the differences between the two segments of the publishing industry that we have both approached. One would be self-publishing and the other would be dealing with a larger publisher and the troubles faced in these methods. We would also use our own experiences in writing to help explain what we are talking about.
