Epublishing is here to stay in one form or another so why not embrace it. :)<br /><br />Kudos and thanks for the blog post.Serena Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959664736807639363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-191432079211875552009-06-20T21:27:19.978-05:002009-06-20T21:27:19.978-05:00Paris,

I know there's a hooplah going on in RWA right now about the whole epublishing industry this is just one more -very eloquently spoken- reason why RWA should wake up and smell the coffee. I've noticed some of the NY8 are putting their books out in digital format now, so the proof is in the pudding. Epublishing is seeping into the industry, whether RWA likes it or not.Crystal Kauffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279674658154552567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-51447488222144748912009-06-20T16:53:45.370-05:002009-06-20T16:53:45.370-05:00Thanks Savanna and Sandy.

I think most e-pubbed authors making 34 to 40% are knowledgeable enough would never accept NY's terms for their e-published books with them, but the ones who don't know it would be easy to dupe them. <br /><br />I also agree with Savanna that we need some protection like the other authors get.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-87481206745239923822009-06-20T14:50:22.805-05:002009-06-20T14:50:22.805-05:00Paris, excellent insights into what is currently h...Paris, excellent insights into what is currently happening and what the future holds.<br />Somehow, those of us who have chosen the small print and ebook path need to come together well enough to protect what is rightfully ours in the realm of royalties.<br />Once the Big Publishers establish a percentage on their e-books, it could be just one more unfair payscale for authors.<br />If readers, authors and aspiring authors want to protect the huge selection and variety currently available from romance authors, then I suggest they support the smaller publishers as much as they can in their purchases because it won't be the Big Publishers who offer ebooks for niche readers, nor will they present the best authors, either. It doesn't work like that, despite what people are led to believe. Often the best stories and the best authors aren't published by New York.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.com
