Yes, Eric, the Chinese curse is not lost on me. I believe I've been living it from birth! As it relates to the writer's world, these are indeed interesting times.

I wholeheartedly agree. A book is printed and bound, has form and mass, is something you hold in your hands, and it exists over time -- perhaps decades, maybe longer -- whether or not your batteries dry up.

Okay, I'm leaning heavily toward taking back what I said. Harlequin has now opened a new venture with Author Solutions, entitled "Harlequin Horizons." Yep, they're pointing their rejected slush authors toward a self-publishing program. Romance Writers of America has yanked Harlequin's status as an approved publisher, and they're being listed on P&E as a vanity publisher.<br />
<br />
Hmm.<br />

The thing that disturbs me about the digital press they've opened is that they're mentioning it in their press releases right alongside the new self-publishing house. It makes me leery of it, because it could just be another route they send rejected slush.<br />
