To blur the lines even more, some traditional publishers are considering doing no-advance deals, which have always been standard for the big publishers. http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com/2008/04/no-advance-book-deals.htmlHelen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-52195595000689798432008-07-01T12:25:00.000-05:002008-07-01T12:25:00.000-05:00Hi Helen,Good blog topic.

The news isn't always good, though. And this makes us want to remain in denial. <BR/><BR/>As hopeful authors, we want to believe that there is an audience for our amazing books and that we will be able to retire on sales or royalties.<BR/><BR/>As I see it, this is the decade of the split publishing industry. There are the traditional royalty publishers and the independents (self-publishing authors). It's like two different worlds; and one doesn't really understand the other. But through blog sites like yours and mine, understanding one another is possible. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Patricia Fry<BR/>www.matilijapress.com/publishingblogPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09662628445272903637noreply@blogger.com
