Wow..I had no idea!
Thank you for this enlightening piece of info.

It definitely makes more sense to me now that writers sell directly to the audience, us, and not bother going through a publisher. The only thing to figure out is how to entice readers to purchase a book directly.......word of mouth sounds like the in thing....
I have purchased numerous books directly from folks who post on this blog. What a great way to effect change...

Thanks emellaich for taking the time to explain this.
