AMAZON IS NOT YOUR FRIEND AND OTHER OBSERVATIONS FROM DALE PECK AND LISA DIERBECK

I was fortunate enough to catch this gem of video this weekend on a rare day off- click here and fast forward to 1.09.25 for Lisa Dierbeck followed by Dale Peck with a wealth of in-your-face observations on publishing and authorship.  One of the things I took from this is the wake up call I’ve been trying to ive myself about publishing and that is the industry we’ve romanticized NO LONGER EXISTS.  So what next?  I suppose it’s like Peck says, that while writers are creating worlds we also should be building them (i.e. web/blog/indy pub).  There is so much here that I couldn’t even begin to catalog the brilliant things they talked about- so sit back, watch and engage.
