Yes, you can both self publish and traditional publish. Self publishing means that you are the one responsible for publishing your book, while traditional publishing means that you work with a publishing house who will help you to publish your book. There are pros and cons to both options, so it really depends on what you are looking for in a publisher. If you want more control over the publishing process and your book's final product, then self publishing might be the better option for you. However, if you are looking for more publicity and marketing support, then traditional publishing might be the way to go.
