Second time's a charm!
Today for #BookTube, I talk about the strange shifting world of #SFF publishing, and the challenges it creates.
I talk about the red flags indie writers need to look out for, and my experiences as both indie author and editor.
And...
I frame my conversation about why indie *matters* around the work of two #WritersOfCoSo, @cmskiera & @joycereynoldsward: two authors whose work addresses niches & ideas often overlooked in the trad world. 🎉
Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed it, C.M. I couldn't offer a more direct review due to conflict of interest, but it was such a great work with which to talk about a whole slice of SFF that used to have a much greater presence in publishing - so thank you for writing such a worthy text!
(And yes! SASEs and hard-copy Writer's Market guides! The good old days of papercuts and postage! Isn't it fun to be old cranks in the genre now? 😉)
Kids these days don't know how hard it was, @MLClark! 😜 And yes, those stinking Writer's Market guides. Between mailing and buying, we wasted a LOT of paper!
And I totally understand about the review. Completely professional. 👍
Thank you so very much, @MLClark! What a wonderful piece. I appreciate the spotlight, and even learned a few (more) things from you.
Although, being as old as I am, you had me at "SASE." Do people even know what that is anymore? Ah, memories . . . 😉
