Authors need to decide if they want to keep forever to themselves, or share forever with a publisher who takes over half the cover price.

When a single author uploading his own books to Amazon can earn more money than a large N.Y. publisher exploiting both print and e-rights, there’s something amiss.

If a traditional publisher offered me a quarter of a million dollars for a novel, I’d consider it. But anything less than that, I’m sure I can do better on my own.

Publishers vet books, and they do a good job keeping out the low quality. But they also miss some good quality.

Writers are essential. Readers are essential. Publishers are not.
