| The
World of Publishing is Changing |

|
By Cherie Burbach
It’s always interesting to me when I hear people lament about what
“junk” self-published books are. Some complain they can spot a self-published
work a mile away, and others claim that the quality and more
importantly, writing of these works is sub-par.
I find this interesting, of course, because I am a self-published
author. I find it interesting because when I read the news lately I
hear that some authors, such as Kaavya Viswanathan and James Frey,
knowingly misled readers, and worse, that their “traditional”
publishers let it happen.
We’ve probably all heard the James Frey saga of late, but in case
you haven’t heard the deal with Viswanathan, she reportedly
“borrowed” large parts of her novel, “How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got
Wild, and Got a Life” from fellow novelist Megan McCafferty.
Right. |
