Why, oh why, would she write this anonymously? Does she not realise that an article like this, getting passed around the Internet, finding its way to HN and personal blogs, is a great way to get immense publicity? Publicity == sales.
- electromagnetic 17y agoIt's only good publicity if you can get published. Outing the corporate nature of the friendly looking book publishers is a sure way to get every editor in an exceptionally small market to blacklist you, you're then fucked and have to start selling primarily to a foreign market where the editors have no clue who you are.
