Yes, self publishing is the way to go these days. I was a professional writer back in the day with an agent (scripts). When I picked up the pen again recently I saw how dramatically the publishing industry has changed. Self publishing is the right path. Disadvantage is there is so MUCH bad writing out there now because anyone can self publish.

We went with hybrid publishing. Which covers editing, marketing, and setting up various other services, etc. With the hybrid yes, you pay up front but the publisher does not get a cut until the author is reimbursed first, then they recieve .20 cents per book. Royalties are paid at a better rate to the author, e.g. 70% vs. 20%.

Good to know. Ciaphas, take note.

That is why good reviews make or break a work, these days.
