This post was on Rusch's blog a few hours and then it got hacked. Some very interesting observations on royalty accounting practices. 
I believe that options for self-published authors will change dramatically over the next two years, but right now things look bleak for indie authors hoping to get their books into stores. Face the reality, and hope for better times. 
How an author began with publishing a free book and ended up with a 3-book deal, and what difference this has made to her life. 
All right, let's let the INTERN have a go at the self/trad publishing divide. 
Another author argues against the Amazon KDP program. 
Is Amazon’s new KDP Select program a game-changer for authors? Well, yes, no, and maybe. 
Yes, but in the meanwhile you're left with the choice between locking up your book or making it easy to pirate. Yo ho heave ho! The monopoly once held by traditional publishers...please read along with the Behler Blog post on the monopoly now held by Amazon. I try to be balanced. 
Ruh-oh. I wonder how often this happens?
A paper book is a collectible. Let's remember that. 
Interesting take...certainly the self-publishing "industry" is growing, with new companies launching every day who'll help you get published for a fee. And I think the free craze will die down a bit over the next couple of years. But a bubble about to burst? Not so sure. 
Finally an idea that would really set e-books apart as a new medium - debating the book from inside the book! I'm not talking about just asking the author questions here - I'm thinking an entire discussion among readers with the author joining in. Wow. |
One of the most thought-provoking thoughts on e-book pricing I've seen for a while. 
DIY or hire a professional? This post helps you decide. 
Quite a decent primer if you're new to this game.
Confusing... so the organization holds the right to publish in digital form instead of whom?
2nd posting... woops sorry stuck it in the wrong topic. 
My eyes glazed over once there were more numbers than words, but the bottom line is clear enough. 
No monopoly, if abused, is a good thing. But I'm not crazy about the finger-pointing on both sides of the devide (is that image really necessary?) I don't think it's doing readers or writers any good. 
I would need expert help to guide me through the maze of promotional opportunities, so I thought I'd post this piece of advice from an expert. 
"AND THE BOOK CONTRACT GOES TO...
My guess? We can't even guess what things will look like in five years' time. 
I love innovative book design (and The Wild Swans is my favorite Andersen tale). Does your book lend itself to special treatment? |
