• Creator:
  Kasperek, Kinga
• Description:
  The aim of the following article is to understand popularity of self-publishing phenomena in Poland. At the very begining author is explaining what is self-publishing, taking as an example three most popular self-publishing portals in Poland (Wydaje.pl, Virtualo and RW2010) and comparing them to the foreign self- -publishing portals. Author is writing about different types of self- -publishing: vanity publishing, subsided publishing, partnership self-publishing, whole self-publishing and self-publishing at the Internet platforms. Next part of the article is entitled discussions about advantages and disadvantages of selfpublishing and reception of this phenomena. Author writes about first self-publishing success (novels by Stephen King) and major, american stars of self -publishing in the effort of seeking polish self publishing success stories. It turnes out, that polish self-publishing market is lacking bestsellers and independent authors. Subsequently changes in publishing circuit are analyzed. Author compares self-publishing to second publishing circuit in Poland (1971–1989). Selfpublishing is described as samizdat without political context, in commercialized version. Theory of long tail (by Chris Anderson) “generation upload” theory (Jeff Gomez), cognitive surplus (Clay Shirky) and economical context of self-publishing (free access to publication) are recalled to understand popularity of independent self-publishing. Next author is analyzing an editor side of self-published e-books trying to compare it with traditional published book. It turned out, that independent authors not always follow editorial standards, but they are trying to follow them. They resign from the editorial freedom in order to use one developed by publishing standards – the aim is being understood by readers. In the last part author is referring to the status of an author in self-publishing, pointing changes (and refer to Roland Barthes, Michael Foucault, Walter Benjamin) – author is becoming the most important part of the communication chain in self-publishing by making decisions and staying in touch with a reader.;
