The advantages of using a
publisher are numerous, but one that appeals most to me is that they
often have built-in marketing. And why wouldn't they? They want your
product to sell so they can make money off it, too! Of course, the
traditional 50/50 profit split is a bit of a deterrent to most
creators, and they will have to decide if 100% of next to nothing is
worth the tradeoff to sacrificing 50% for a whole lot of something.
That's not guaranteed, though; there are self-published creators that
hit it big, and it's awesome that they retain product control and
don't have to give up 50% of their profits to a publisher. Either
way, however, the creator still has to hope to be lucky enough to get
hit by that rare lightning bolt that sparks massive success, whether
self-published or traditionally published. A reputable publisher
can't guarantee a hit, but they know the industry and can at least
help market you towards success, probably much better than you can
yourself.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
