I wanted to share this interesting and rather pointed post from David Gaughran. Clearly shows that Scott Turow and possibly the Author’s Guild have their heads planted firmly in the sand when it comes to self-publishing. What do you think?

I think the Author’s Guild is in bed with the Big Five (Four?) — that’s what I think. Also, Gaughran did a great job in ferreting out what their executive director makes, and making the point that it’s way more than most authors make.

I just ripped up my application. 😀

Considering Turow didn’t start out as a starving author, how could he possibly understand how important these other publishing options are to the rest of us (and especially to people like me who haven’t figured out which way to go yet)? Maybe if I’d started out in a well-paying career and then got a lucky break at a time when there was pretty much just the one way to become a successful author, I may not quite get the whole eBook thing, either. But then I’d probably keep my ignorance to myself.
Thanks for posting this, Laurie. It set me on a journey of seemingly endless links today, which wasn’t as fun as rewriting scenes as I’d planned to do, but you gotta eat your veggies, too, eh?-
Uh…sure…glad to be your Brussels sprouts, Jen… 😀

LOL Next time, bring some bacon. It’s really the only way I can get those things down. 😛
