My take on the Guardian's claim that we're in a self-publishing bubble.
I would survive a Zombie Apocalypse. I know this because I took a test.
I'm participating in the Amazon KDP Select program because I think there's money to be made.
I'm using the library again and boycotting agency priced eBooks. Why? Because they are such a bad deal for authors.
Amanda Hocking is not a fluke, but she is an entertaining writer.
Publishers seemed determine to overprice their eBooks, a trend that makes me very happy.
Why can we accept 99¢ music but we can't accept 99¢ novels? It's all about price expectation.
William Deverell went down the self-publishing road for Kill All the Lawyers. This may be the first of many self-pubbed Deverell books, and publishers should be watching.
Kodak waited far too long to truly embrace HD digital image capture, and the major publishers are waiting far too long before they will eventually be forced to truly embrace e-books rather than trying to sabotage them with high prices and lousy royalties.
And I didn't even have to get arrested to make that happen. Membership has it privileges, and for years I've been a member of the Crime Writers of Canada, ever since my editor at Storyteller Magazine (alas, gone now--the magazine, not my editor) told me I should join.
