I prefer the term Independently Published. There's nothing SELF about this. I've spent over 5k in editors, layout and graphic design, artwork and illustrations on my current project. Self Published has terrible connotations.
Did you choose either a small trad or big trad publisher in the poll?
I like the "finishing a ms" option. Wish I'd thought of that. (Maybe not 'starting.' If you're starting, you don't know it'll be complete, so you can't start a complete manuscript.)

I understand what you're saying. Thanks so much for participating in this. I appreciate it.
How about finishing or starting a complete manuscript? Given the choices....seeing a physical book put out by a publisher

It wouldn't let me choose anything...
