I came across a very inspiring quote that sparked a mental debate in me.
 

 
"Many people incorrectly assume that profit is the sole motive for self-publishing. For many writers, creating the work and then sharing it is its own reward."

What are the reasons you self-publish? Is it for profit? For distribution? For personal achievement? Gift giving? Preserving a memory?
 
We'd love to hear the reasons why you are self-publishing!
