Can self-publishing be considered as writing a book?

Yes, self-publishing is a legitimate way of writing a book. Writing and self-publishing go hand-in-hand, allowing authors to bring their work to readers independently. It involves the entire process—from creating the manuscript to publishing and distributing the book. While traditional publishing is one route, self-publishing offers creative control and accessibility. Many successful authors have chosen the self-publishing path, considering it a valid means of realizing their writing goals and connecting directly with audiences. So, indeed, self-publishing is a recognized and fulfilling way to write and share a book.
