People have asked me when I'm going to start selling my fiction work this way, and the truth is that I have mixed feelings about authors who are using online services like Scribd's store to sell their work directly to readers. While this can help supplement the author's income, I think it can also create conflicts of interest. My primary market is still print, and while the major publishers are having ongoing problems embracing the E-future, I still have hope they'll catch up with the internet and see the wonderful opportunities electronic format offers.

Thanks for posting this. I bought it not too long after it was posted in the Holly Shop and printed it out. I think perhaps I need to take it with me when I go out of town this weekend and re-read it.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend this book to anyone--I also bought it when it first came out as an e-book and still have the loose pages in a folder!
ReplyDeleteAlso went and got a copy, thanks. I do wish they offered Paypal : )
ReplyDeleteWaaaah! It says that it's limited to US residents.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion. I wanna buy it soon.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like just the kind of book that I could use right about now - sadly, US residents only. Oh, well.

ReplyDeleteI would have liked to buy your ebook but unfortunately its for US residents only.
