That's not the same thing.Nigel G Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587936933402372050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394981054890532035.post-59241493364829645712013-02-10T18:34:47.694-07:002013-02-10T18:34:47.694-07:00Hey Nigel!

When a zine buys my work it's great, but I don't have any idea how many people are actually reading my stuff. With Amazon and Smashwords, I have stats, and it's freakin' AWESOME to think of that many people with my words on their eReaders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394981054890532035.post-59557800503474179962013-02-07T13:48:45.132-07:002013-02-07T13:48:45.132-07:00There was an interview with Smashwords founder and...There was an interview with Smashwords founder and he said that self-publishing isn't just another option, but that it will be the most important one in the future. His argument is that publishers have to buy books that will make money, and that's impossible. The only way forward is to publish any book and allow the market to dictate saleable books.
