Wondering whether it’s worth bowing to Amazon’s demand that you self-publish only through BookSurge, which, interestingly, Amazon just happens to own, in order to sell your book online? Take a look at The Future of Publishing? Self-published Novel Wins Major Literary Award for an interesting take on Amazon, BookSurge, and literary agents. Obviously something has been lost between the promise and the reality of amazon.com. Do authors who choose to self-publish really need this kind of headache? I don’t think so. Promotion is tough enough already without having Amazon get in the way. JK
