Hmmm.   This piece in the NY Times is very interesting to me as a writer and occasional reviewer of books.

Thanks to Derek Blass for pointing it out to me.    The question for everyone is  ”What is a review worth?”  and  ”Should reviewers be compensated for their time?”

…  Would love your comments!!   Enjoy!

This is a terrific blog posting from writer Alisha Paige.  I find it interesting to read comments from writers who are experienced in being traditionally published AND have published themselves.  Thanks Alisha for your comments and thoughts.   I know they will be valuable to others as well.

Today I’m debunking myths within the indie world. In other words, I’ve heard some crazy rumors flying around some writing blogs and I want to get the truth out for a couple of reasons. 1) I hate how negative rumors can ruin a very good thing. 2) If I were a new writer considering indie publishing my book, I know for a fact that if I read some of the false blogs about inflated costs, I’d probably never take the risk to indie pub my books and that makes me sad. :(
