   I'm too old to take on novels.  But with my sort stories, I self publish a   
   work only as a reprint OR after it's been rejected about a dozen times but   
   with favorable comments from editors or slush pile readers, OR one time as a   
   joke, which I notified my    
   readers of in the forward.   
      
   I STRONGLY recommend NOT self publishing without some sort of peer review   
   process.     
      
   This may be a problem with novels because of the lengthy submission process.    
   So I would suggest having persons who ARE NOT friends or family read the novel   
   and give you honest opinions.
