Wow, how the industry is changing....

Nothing ever stays the same. Change is always coming, ready or not.

I marvel at how the publishing industry has changed in just the past 5 years. From traditional houses and larger authors trashing self-published authors using print on demand (POD) to finding out POD isn't too bad. In fact, POD has even been "upgraded" euphemistically to "hybrid publishing". Afterall, you can't trash it then embrace it later, can you?

I even remember when people scoffed at ebooks. "Who the heck is gonna read a book online?" I dunno. Let's ask supersuccessful Ellora's Cave, Whiskey Creek, etc.

But the bottom line, those self-published, determined, renegades authors HAVE made significant inroads into the traditional publishing houses pockets. And they finally took notice.

Folks, your gut tells you the truth. If you have a hunch, jump on it then plan to ride the wave until you see something happening.

Remember the writer's trinity: Patience, Persistence and Pushing.

Peace out.
