Carson's phoenix rising. I think this is a path that will indeed offer advantages to some writers that aren't matched by traditional publishing.<br /><br />I found your blog from Janet's post, which I went to from Joe Konrath's.<br /><br />The mistake I see people making is in assuming that one path will definitely win out. First, as Janet wisely states, 'definitely' is awfully definitive for these uncertain times.<br /><br />Will some authors do better on their own than with a major? Yes, especially midlist ones, or ones with a strong backlist to which they own the rights.<br /><br />Will all authors do better this way? No. You raise me one Barry Eisler, I'll raise you an Amanda Hocking.<br /><br />I think Joe (and Barry) would be on stronger ground if they said that their path is well worth looking into. It may turn out to be right for you. Definitive prognostications about print, bookstores, and the like get to be shaky.<br /><br />Sure, someone once said, Why would anyone need a computer in the home, and look how that turned out. But someone else said of the Beatles in 1962 that guitar music was on the way out.Jenny Milchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410805792044518458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888894328714553003.post-14472481038099803442011-09-26T20:43:18.090-07:002011-09-26T20:43:18.090-07:00Hello Gary & J.Carson,
