Hi all, just wondered if there were any self publishing authors on here.
My wife has self published 7 books now - mainly rhyming stories for children, her latest one though is a novel aimed at older kids.
She generally uses Create Space and Amazon to publish and sell them and also takes copies to craft fairs etc.
Has anyone gone from self published to being picked up by a proper publisher?
Link to her books are here if anyone's interested:

She just really enjoys writing and the creative process behind the books. She's also found two really good illustrators she works with.
The 'model' in the photos for Fairy Boots and Libby Mae's Little Angel is our daughter.
So who else has published?
Drop some links in the thread so we can check out your work!
Not quite self published but my dad started to self publish a book about his last trip, driving to Cape Town in an old 4x4 with his partner. Unfortunately he didn't quite get to finish the project but my wife did a final edit and sorted out the publishing. Now available on amazon.  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Driving-Dark-Africa-Accidental-Adventurer-ebook/dp/B013J8DXJO
