Self-published authors are writers who produce and distribute their own books without traditional publishing houses.
They handle or outsource editing, design, and marketing themselves, typically releasing through platforms like Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing.
The term carries less stigma than it once did, as some self-published authors achieve significant commercial success: Several self-published authors have landed on bestseller lists.
