I find this hilarious also considering the great benefits self publishing has provided to authors, especially to me. No, not in a million years will self publishing be depleted. Well, who knows, it may be he other way around. :) This is very interesting. I find this hilarious also considering the great benefits self publishing has provided to authors, especially to me.

Can you give me the link? I didn't see your post when clicking on your name. Thanks again for readng and commenting. I completely agree with you...and I think authors with Keillor's attitude are essentially dinosauers who are going to be left behind. What's the saying? You can't fight progress. Holds true in publishing too, and it has been a somewhat stagnant industry for so long. Hey, Bailey! Can you give me the link? I didn’t see your post when clicking on your name.

Bravo to you) about Keillor's self-aggrandizing and technophobic attitude. Obviously there are self-published books and authors who don't know what they're doing and publish unprofessional-looking books, but, as in any market, crap won't sell. Quality will. (Normally that's how it works, anyway -a few examples of crap selling spectacularly in the traditional industry Keillor loves so much do come to mind). Self-publishing authors are just beginning to bring the self-pub market up to its full potential. It takes time, but independent authors and companies are a beautiful thing, and I'm excited to see more of them over the coming decades. Keillor can whine about wanting to be a martyr all he wants, but the old model just doesn't quite work for people anymore. I posted a similar bit on my blog (although with less tone control!
