Context


This blog is about independent publishing. Are we going to get rich? Maybe. More importantly, I think we'll all be happier and more creative if we have a financial stake in the projects we are working on. It's something most publishers have forgotten and they are left wondering why their content sucks.... The best minds are certainly not giving their content away and our new publishing paradise certainly makes distribution easy. Not to pick on any publisher in particular....but when the NY Times has yet another plagiarism scandal on their hands, is it any wonder they are not getting original content from their staff? Their best freelance writers left them long ago over the right to their materials. Cross platform publishing is routine. We're living in a digital age and the publishers are acting like financial and legal cavemen.
