Not that I think paying for publication is some kind of a sin or scam--that's part of the legit entrepreneurial side of the business now, I think--it's just that I think author's need to be able to understand what they're getting into upfront.<br /><br />I'm giving you a shout-out on my blog this weekend, btw. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273059558675234923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-33761817984978992272012-08-30T09:27:17.426-07:002012-08-30T09:27:17.426-07:00E.J., Lee also emailed about that comment and than...E.J., Lee also emailed about that comment and thanked me for it. Clearly it's an important issue that, although addressed often in various writer blogs, still is hampered with false information and constant changes. I think what bothers me the most is companies that are self-publishing services yet call themselves publishers, and use all the correct lingo like "submissions, contract, editing, marketing, book design" and then voila, author must PAY to get their book out. But by the time poor author gets the whole story, their rights are tied up and they are stuck.Karen Jones Gowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153821980625034810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-21704618991726491692012-08-30T08:16:36.040-07:002012-08-30T08:16:36.040-07:00Know I posted here earlier this week, but wanted t...Know I posted here earlier this week, but wanted to stop by to tell you something: Loved your comment over at C. Lee's blog this morning! Seriously, I wish we could have more discussion on what publishers are, what they offer, and how they differ. <br /><br />Basically, I think there's been so much change, so quickly, that authors are in a prime (not good, though) position to be taken advantage of. Part of that just comes from not having all of the information. Comments like yours help clarify things a bit.<br /><br />I agree 100% that indie doesn't mean the same thing it did 5 years ago (maybe even last year lol). Anyway, appreciate the thought you put into your response. Also hope there'll be more publishers, agents, etc. work to help define the different legit avenues for an author to get their work out there. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273059558675234923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-3825817676987481412012-08-28T20:34:22.391-07:002012-08-28T20:34:22.391-07:00Wow, so this is your 400th post?

...Wow, so this is your 400th post? Congratulations!<br /><br />I did a book signing in Ogden back in... I think it was 2007. It was lovely and the people were lovely too! I had such a good time. I was just in Utah this June too for my birthday, visiting a lovely temple in Spanish Fork. Utah's one of my favourite states.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7852800943772489474.post-51741016104053030682012-08-28T12:45:11.322-07:002012-08-28T12:45:11.322-07:00I'd love to live in that sort of town.
