self-publishes
Prints without publishers
Self-publishes means to publish one's own work without going through a traditional publishing house.
The author handles or arranges editing, design, printing, and distribution independently: She self-publishes her novels through Amazon.
The practice has grown with digital platforms that make it easier to reach readers directly.
