One thing I wanted to add about indie versus traditional publishers is that traditional publishers have very rigid genre buckets. This means that books that don't meet their ideal for a specific genre or mix genres will not be published. Indie authors like indie bands produce a wide variety of entertainment because they are not constrained by corporate labeling by a handful of people within an industry. However, like with all creative products, there are good and bad ones. I love being an indie author just like I love listening to indie music. Variety is the spice of life! Thank you MR readers and keep those Smashwords reviews coming!
