Academics produce papers and give it to Elsevier for free. Academics referee the paper for free. Elsevier sells the papers back to Academics. This has been their business model for some time... but now they've found another way to monetize you. They sell your data.

What does it cost to hire a freelance editor? It depends on the kind of book you need edited and what kind of editing you want done. The Editorial Freelancers Association has a calculator. www.the-efa.org/rates/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Editing #LianaEdits #Publishing #PubTip

”A blog alarm clock lives inside me. As time passes, an uncomfortable pressure builds up until the alarm finally goes off, rattling my bones and my soul. Snoozing isn’t an option; the only way to turn the alarm off and release the pressure is to publish a blog post.” — Brad Frost

I just completed a first draft of my 7th novel: Sabot. It’s a modern reimagining of the 1975 Edward Abbey #novel The Monkey Wrench Gang, and tels the story of 4 eco-warriors who take on big oil in a post-democracy America.
I’m sick of vanity #publishing and looking for help in finding an appropriate publisher to take this on. Maybe environmental or anti-fascist or even non-western philosophy based/oriented #publishers

You do blogging by pressing the words (WordPress); I do blogging by being a ghost (Ghost CMS). Some people do a Google search and type "Blogger" (Blogger).

I've been published in Chicken Soup for the Soul before, but I am consistently amazed at how big their brand is and yet how little they pay. $250? Then again, I think one of their books has like 100 stories in it? And I am certainly not a math guy. I just thought that maybe this year they'd increase their pay rates. I pitched a story about finding a cat in my kitchen. #Publishing #Writers #Writing
