Perhaps 'vanity' is not quite the right word (except in the meaning of 'vanity publishing'--paying a publisher to publish your crap that no one else wants). But certainly the wealthy like the exclusivity--only someone who can throw away a buck a character can use the service. But that doesn't really explain why anyone would go out of their way to read the product.
- jaclaz 9y agoYep, but essentially "vanity publishing" is about managing - through money - to have something published that you weren't able to be paid for AND that you weren't able to publish even for free. Essentially, crap. BUT since you are spending money, you want your name in BIG BOLD letters on the cover, because you believe it isn't crap and you are only misunderstood by editors and publishers.
