BRIEF (ha ha) thoughts on #publishing #tradpub #selfpub #indiepub:

I gave up on traditional publishing a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (read: in my early 30s 😆). Tradpub's  gatekeeping used to be merely frustrating and demoralizing -- these days, I find it outright offensive and bad for human beings. All part of the #capitalism machine. This section of gears happens to grind #creative people into bloody mush.

Long story short & once upon a time, I was with an indie publisher...

1/3

"Through publishing’s own mechanisms that decide who gets what kind of support--many of these methods not particularly empirical or meritocratic--publishers have the most significant impact on how sales pan out for authors. Publishing knows this, yet still emphasizes author social media activity in assessing the profitability of said author’s work. This is at best simple and at worst unfair."
