Sajátkiadás

Sajátkiadás is a Hungarian term that translates to "self-publishing" in English. It refers to the process by which an author publishes their own work without the involvement of a traditional publishing house. This can encompass a wide range of activities, from writing and editing to designing the cover, formatting the interior, and marketing the final product.

The rise of digital technologies and the internet has made self-publishing more accessible than ever before. Authors can now easily create and distribute e-books and print-on-demand physical books through various online platforms. This allows for greater creative control and a potentially larger share of the profits compared to traditional publishing routes.

However, self-publishing also places significant responsibility on the author. They must be prepared to handle all aspects of the publishing process, which requires a diverse skill set or the willingness to hire professionals for specific tasks such as professional editing, cover design, and marketing. Despite these challenges, a growing number of authors are choosing the "sajátkiadás" path to bring their stories and ideas to readers directly.
