"All self-published books are crap." Yeah, sure. Read some of the major publisher books, and you'll find an equal amount of crap."<br /><br />I've seen this, and said so, but my voice goes unheard by most writers. The whole "traditional published means better editing" isn't necessarily true. I think editing as an art and skill is being lost. Many of the books I've read lately have had atrocious editing.Richard H.

Although it is true...Yay, Marva! Very true words!<br /><br />Although it is true that you should never give up your dreams, it is also true that sometimes you have to make them happen yourself -- or even throw yourself out there in a risky, non-standard fashion. <br /><br />Hey, my word verification thingy is "tearsack." Is that significant, do you think?Dianne K. Salernihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459839567235304842noreply@blogger.com
