Self-funded publishing and co-publishing have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on factors such as the publishing plan, the publishing company, and the time of publication. Co-publishing is usually easier to achieve than self-publishing because co-authors are more willing to work with authors and provide publishing support. Co-authors may be more willing to publish works that have already been widely recognized and help them reach a wider readership. In addition, the collaborating publishing company may also provide more editing, publishing, and promotional support to help the work gain recognition and spread faster. However, co-publishing also required the author to have sufficient writing quality and creativity to win the recognition and support of the co-publishing company. If the quality of the work was not good enough or lacked creativity, it would be difficult to gain the interest of the collaborating editors, which might lead to delays in publishing. In contrast, self-funded publishing may require more time and effort because the author needs to find a bookstore, write a publication application, prepare the publication documents, and carry out publicity and promotion. However, if the quality of the work was high and the creativity was good, the author might be able to push the work to the market faster and gain more recognition and rewards from readers. Therefore, self-funded publishing and co-publishing had their own advantages and disadvantages. The author needed to make the most appropriate choice according to his own publishing plan and the actual situation.
