This particular indie author had a temper tantrum which the media apparently chalked up to another typical indie rant. However I believe that it's unfair to categorize indies in a bad light because of a few bad apples. My hope is that over time, indies will be taken more seriously. I love being in control of the content of my book as well as the cover. I couldn't imagine someone telling me what to do with my creativity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09449299020872572393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954449115541723141.post-51875630142810742722012-05-21T14:49:41.749-07:002012-05-21T14:49:41.749-07:00Great post!

In my experience, and I have a lot of writing friends who are traditionally published and a lot of writing friends who are self-published, there really isn't any hostility. It's hard to be a writer, and we're all happy to cheer each other on.Connie Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774616533630985219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954449115541723141.post-56754360039056120682012-05-20T12:47:39.177-07:002012-05-20T12:47:39.177-07:00I do think self-publishing is here to stay.

There is a bit of an internal fight going on, but I do think the article is exaggerating. Self-published authors need to get better at what they do. The handful of really great works out there are being overshadowed by the not so great ones that are flooding the market. When the quality improves, I think people will change their attitude.Mary Ellen Quigleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679719500257202397noreply@blogger.com
