Creating design and written content you'd like to share with the world? Ben Tallon's accidental author career kicked off when Champagne and Wax Crayons: Riding the Madness of the Creative Industry happened off the back of an angry freelancer blog rant. It was published via a traditional publishing house. YA MUM and Other Stories from the Backstreets of Britain is his 3rd book, a rancid collection of black comedy and observational stories from Britain's cultural underbelly and this time out, he's going indie. Here are some thoughts and experienced ups and downs from each model which will hopefully help you work out which may suit your work, schedule and character more.
