autoeditar

To publish one's own work (book, music, software) without going through a traditional publisher or label — the standard Spanish term for 'self-publish,' especially common in discussions of independent authors.

• Decidió autoeditar su primera novela en formato digital. — She decided to self-publish her first novel in digital format.
• Cada vez más músicos autoeditan sus discos. — More and more musicians self-release their albums.
• Autoeditar tiene ventajas, pero exige asumir tú mismo la distribución. — Self-publishing has advantages, but it requires handling distribution yourself.

In publishing contexts autoeditar takes a direct object (the work being published) rather than a reflexive pronoun referring to the person — don't reflexivize it here the way you would autoeditarse in an unrelated 'self-censoring' sense.
