QUESTION 17 OF 30

What are the benefits for an author to publish with HarperCollins versus self-publishing?

The idea of self-publishing has become increasingly popular, especially with self-publishing tools being available at anyone's fingertips. The interviewer wants to see that you are an advocate for the traditional book publishing route. Discuss what you believe to be the benefits of using a traditional publisher such as HarperCollins.

"There are tremendous benefits to working with a traditional publisher. These include the fact that a publisher knows how to advocate for your manuscript. They also have more connections than any independent author could ever gather. Another key point is that a traditional publisher can negotiate much better when it comes to book deals. I am eager to work with HarperCollins helping authors to navigate the challenging world of publishing."
