Kindle and the Business of Self-Publishing Today
On a busy New York street a young man stops an older passer-by. "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?"
The older man puts a hand on his shoulder. "Practice, my boy. Practice."
Old joke; just as true today.
More titles are available than ever before, thanks to affordable self-publishing, and print on demand ("POD"), among other technologies. This is a great blessing for both those who read and those who write: there are no longer just a handful of gatekeepers at the entrance to bestseller Heaven. That doesn’t mean, though, that You Can Become a Rich and Famous Novelist without Really Trying.
