TurboTax might have chosen "self-employed" for you if you entered a 1099-Misc for work you did. If you work for someone as an employee and receive a W-2, you are not self-employed. The 1099-Misc "self-employed" income is reported on Schedule C. You can deduct expenses to offset your income on a Schedule C but you do have to pay self-employment (SS & Medicare) taxes on your net income.
If you are a W-2 employee, with no other income for your work as an author, then you must go to Schedule C and delete it, see below.
If you received a 1099-Misc for your work (or even if you were paid and did not receive a 1099-Misc) you are considered "self-employed".
