I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on...@Cherie:<br />I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this particular subject. You are right, in order to sell or market a product a business (contrary of reasoning) has to spend/invest money, somewhere. I think too many indie authors--want to sale books but aren't willing to do the "work" involved in establishing yourself to a consumer.<br /><br />Thanks again!Bobby Ozunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06054557500399102688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141637017900148390.post-54495518602601532192009-10-27T14:42:51.322-05:002009-10-27T14:42:51.322-05:00Bobby,
Being involved with a small publisher, I am...Bobby,<br />Being involved with a small publisher, I am seeing a bit of both sides of this coin. A small publishing house most assuredly does NOT go into it for the money. However, to get their books out, it is necessary to spend money, thus necessary to make it in order to promote their tiny stable of authors/illustrators. All publishers - big and small - are feeling the bite of an unstable economy with fewer expendable dollars for books. My experience has been very positive with a publisher though. We've become dear friends and I know they are vested in my sucess, and therefore in me as a person.cherie foster colburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978821000719296495noreply@blogger.com
