What may be most interesting is that the "Marketplace", for today's authors, is no
longer restricted to the traditional publishing houses. The author now has a new route
to those who might be interested in his books, a more direct route. I think this is great
but I expect that it will take some time before the reader and the writer find a common
"marketplace" to make their transactions. Writers have to find "their" readers and readers
need to find those writers that are telling stories they want to read. The publishers
have traditionally handled this process, (not always to the satisfaction of either the
writers or the readers). Now for the authors to be successful in their "self-publishing"
efforts they must find a mechanism that exposes their works to the right consumers.
Luck;
