Welcome to Rita's Newsletter! You are invited to subscribe to my newsletter where I'll endeavor to inform,and entertain you with tidbits of information on the ebook fronts, on publishing in general, on authors of interest. Where do you buy ebooks, how do you read them, who writes them, and what's new and interesting in the world of books. Newsletter Dated: 9/22/2003 12:14:20 PMSubject: Why writers choose e-publishing! Page 2
In my last newsletter I had this same question, more writers have written in wanting to tell all. So I've included them here, including the reprint of Jim Farris' quote.
Here's what Jim wrote:
"Because electronic publishing and electronic books are the future. Anyone who thinks that we're going to be able to log trees and grind them up into paper forever really needs to take a look around their local bookstore and check the prices of paperbacks nowadays." Jim publishes with DISKUS PUBLISHING
Another writer's quote:
Sherre Wille, author of SUMMER'S CHILD-Whiskey Creek Press, and BECKY'S REBEL-Wings E-Presssays this:
"Even though I knew my work was good, the NYC editors said it was too much of this and too little of that. My e-pub editors took a chance and came up as winners. I have too books out. One has been best seller for 2 of the 3 months it has been out and the other has been best seller for the first month is was out. Couldn't be happier than right where I am."
Judy Mays, author or Celtic Rendezvous, A Rhythm Divine, Wings E-Press Publishing says this:
"Why - because I don't have to wait forever and a day to see my book in print or even learn if it will be in print! Epubs are much more author friendly!"
And yet another author:
Elise Dee Beraru, author of The Hero's Best Friend,published at Awe Struck Publishing, and Remember My Love, from Hard Shell Word Factory
says this:
"I stay with ebooks because I believe they will continue to grow in popularity once the issues of common formats and devices and rights protection without affecting consumer ease are resolved. I also stay with ebooks because the publishers have the interest in taking risks with unconventional material that the big conglomerates believe have no market. I would like to see every book I publish available in both electronic and print versions, so everyone who wants to read my books can access them in the format that works best for them."
and from author Valarie Hardin:
Valarie Hardin is the author ofI am Gifted Too! at Writer's Exchange, and My Grandmother's Wedding,
"I've done print and it’s not about choosing one or the other. I view ebooks as just another way to get published, like audio books, and large print books. I love ways that expand my creativity." Valerie Hardin
