what does it mean to self publish as an ebook
A simple question. I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to interest a publisher and/or agent in my novel. If I publish it as an ebook, will I sacrifice the chance of traditional publication? I have two titles for my book, what if I publish under one title for ebook and offer it to a traditional publisher under a different title? Some feedback and opinions would be very welcome.

But NEVER offer a traditional publisher a manuscript under another title that you have already published as an e-book- whatever the title, without telling them. And researching the publisher's attitude to previously published works.
BUT you have to sell VERY well, so make sure your book is as good as it can be before you put it out there.
So if you are going to go this way, I think you really have to count on putting an awful lot of time and effort into making the book excellent and in marketing it realy well.
When everything seems to be conspiring against one's plans, one must somehow pursue that dream and hope that some special luck, as well as dogged determination gets you across that winning line..
