![]() ![]() If you want me to consider self-publishing seriously, take your profession seriously. Or in other words, you can't have it both ways. I'm not interested I have better ways to spend my time, in fact, than reading hundreds of samples to find a well-edited, professional book when I can find that elsewhere. ![]() I hear, 'just read the samples', 'what do you expect for ninety-nine cents or even three dollars', or some form of argument that amounts to me going through a slushpile that wouldn't make it past editors at publishing companies. ![]() I see many authors, self-published authors, who will not care about editing and say they can't afford editing, and also complain that people - people like me - don't give self-publishing authors much of a chance, if they give them a chance at all. So I'll say what I've said from the start, which is if you don't care, neither do I. I've been reading about Chuck Wendig and how he's a gatekeeper on the kboards, or how he's chastising and saying awful things, and why should you care if anyone else produces dreck? ![]()
