Do I Need a Publisher’s Imprint for my Self-Publishing Company?

I recently heard an indie author ask about publishing imprints, and if they needed one for their self-publishing. The easy answer is yes.

Your imprint is part of your branding. I include some discussion on your author brand and identity.
