2,000 copies sold is very good for self-publishing.

If you self publish what are the options for cover art? or illistrations to the book? do you have a assemble all of this through a template? or are there options on how this is handled?

If you are self-publishing you have to figure it all out for yourself, yes.

Let me repeat the warning about getting an editor. I don't think there is a submission we have had at Club Lighthouse that doesn't require some editing. Most of them require a lot. Writers are lousy at editing their own stuff.

So you are probably going to be putting out a product that does not do you much credit if you self publish.

Real publishers provide the editing.

Real publishers provide the editing.

My point exactly. We take on a lot of stuff that is an interesting story but needs a lot of editing. On the other hand, we get submissions that are well editied, but totally boring.

I've had this argument with some of our authors who submit stuff to us, then turn around and say they are going to self publish.
