The Self-Publisher Hat Rack

One of the things I've learned is that a self-published author without much a budget has to wear many hats.

The editor hat is a hat that no author should ever wear but it gets donned when there is no one else to wear it.

A poor author also has to be his or her own proofreader (an impossible job), publicist, agent, advertising copy writer, publisher and worst critic, whether or not any of those hats actually fit.
