The book worm is turning. It looks as though you guys are at last getting what you deserve.
For years you have treated the average first time author like dirt. You set all kinds of ridiculous conditions for the submission of manuscripts and often you don’t even bothe r to send out rejection slips.
In many cases the big publishing houses have been too lazy to sift through submissions the mselves so authors were forced to send the ir books to literary agents. They had the job of weeding out the rubbish before passing on the gems to the people, who hopefully, would decide to put the m into print.
That just shows
So how many othe r Harry Potter stories are languishing in a garage somewhere because you publishers don’t know a good story when you see one?
I hope you have put away a huge nest egg for the bad times because the y are here right now. The paper trail is coming to an end. The decimated forests can get back to where the y were. And the whole world should the n be able to breathe a lot easier.
Agents, you old style publishers and bookshop owners had better start thinking seriously about your next career move because your present one is doomed. It looks as though Amazon is selling you all down the river.
At last writers are able to put the ir stories directly before the world and not have highhanded publishers or agents deciding for the m, whethe r the ir narrative is good or bad.
Amazon is now selling nearly as many computer books, as I like to call the m, than all hardcover and paperbacks put togethe r. People can browse for their Kindle books for from just about anywhere and received the ir purchases almost instantly.
What’s better still is that authors can get 70% for the ir trouble right from the start. So the y certainly won’t be mourning your demise.
You are getting exactly what you deserve, if you ask me.
Happy landings,
Regards
Jon
P.S. This letter has nothing to do with the fact that I have had at least 50 novels and othe r books, all of which I know would have been best sellers, rejected by your kind. So now we’ll see what Amazon makes of the m.
Buy my book 'Where have all the children gone?' on Amazon.com It's a thriller with an underlying love story that defied generations of prejudice.
