Book Humour. A Sideways Perspective on the Bonkers Business of Books
This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

A Certain Point of View 
Well, I have a friend who published through a small publisher, then was disappointed and self published… I like her work 🙂
Since, she’s actually created a publishing company. Well… THAT took a lot out of her writing time. The self-publishing? I don’t think it did that much 🙂
I agree that we shouldn’t consider one as superior to the other. Why can’t things be complimentary in life?
We’re not all the same, so it’s better to have man options, to fit everyone’s needs!
*These are just the (tired) thoughts of someone who never published anything else than posts, so I don’t pretend they have much value in this debate 😉 *

I agree with you – this article was a reaction to a rather out-of-date view expressed in the mainstream media. Publishing has moved on. The old barriers have gone (save for some of the snobbery and assumptions around self-publishing). For authors, this means that a whole world of new possibilities have opened up 🙂
