Courtesy of blogger Jane Friedman, this infographic, updated for 2016, outlines key information on the expanding choices writers have for getting published, including the still evolving self-publishing route.

As Friedman points out, a number of factors should be considered when exploring today’s array of traditional, alternative, and hybrid publishing models, including:

  • Long-term career goals
  • Unique qualities of the work
  • Level of experience as an author
