I remain unconvinced that anyone but the copy editor and the author are superfluous in the creation of a great work of art.
I will concede that there needs to be someone to run a storefront to sell the art, but his costs should be very, very small when the art is non-corporeal.
- joubert 16y agoI agree with you 100%. That's why I co-founded Fifobooks, which is a new DRM-free ebook marketplace, where authors: - retain all the rights to their work - maintain full editorial control - set the price at which their ebooks are sold (and keep majority of the revenue) - there is no fee to publish http://fifobooks.com http://fifobooks.com
- jasonlotito 16y agoThat's sort of like saying anyone but the programmer is superfluous in the creation of a startup. Pretty much all startups I see posted here disagree. Most require other people involved. Sales, support, marketing, and even investors. Than you need people to manage that. At the same time, publishers can do something others can't: Provide an advance, something a lot of authors need to be able to write their books.
