I’ve also seen a bunch of comments about writers “cheating” by self-publishing, by people who would apparently never dream of doing such a shocking thing! I smiled, even though I’m deeply and personally interested in where this whole traditional publishing / self-publishing thing goes from here! I don’t think self-publishing is chearing, but I think self-published authors ARE at a cross-roads – and this is a great opportunity to play the game and prove that they’re serious about their craft with or without the name of the greatest publishing houses on the covers of their books. For those of us who are considering self-publication among a number of other options, it’s a wake-up call to resist impatience and go for self-publication only if we’re prepared to invest the time and money in doing it RIGHT.

There’s lots of food for thought here, that’s for sure! *Smile!*
