I have a question….I am asking this in my naivety and ignorance of how publishers work.
If you decide to self-publish with Amazon KDP, can you still send your manuscript to other publishing agencies to see whether they might be interested in a traditional publishing contract?

So I went with self-publishing because it is free. But I am so hopeless at marketing my books. My friends and family are much better at it and I am sure they generate far more sales than I do. But that is where I see the value of working with a traditional publishing agency – as well on refining your book, they can support you with marketing.
