The Business: Today's Indie Publishing Talk On #20Booksto50K

The folks at #20Booksto50K put a new video up on their channel today, a four-way conversion on Indie Publishing.

This is a lot of shop talk, and the folks involved are true publishing companies instead of indie actors, but nonetheless this is a good use of your time. It's not just a simple dichotomy of OldPub and NewPub. There's a lot of smaller publishers that work in that space between those two ends, and while I doubt they're going to fare much better than OldPub in the long term so long as Amazon maintains its position, for those unwilling or unable to do the one-man-band game there is an option. You just need to put in the effort to find these publishers, get to know them, and see which ones--if any--work for you.

Notice the lack of soybois and cat ladies. You'll get a fair shake here. Not so with OldPub.
