Prep the popcorn, the war is on.

The Passive Voice site has a reputation that the comments (and snark) are often better than the linked articles. No surprise given how many established writers (Indies and hybrids) are regulars.

Now to wait for the Inevitable Konrath line by line fisking of Shatzkin. It is going to get real ugly real fast.

So Shatzkin is claiming both that the indie numbers are inflated by all the traditionally published authors going indie, and that the trend is for indie authors to go traditional. I guess he couldn't decide which herring to throw in the barrel.
