I haven't formed an opinion yet about it, but if everyone starts trying to publish their own books via ebook does that mean that the quality of books will go down?]]> Agents and Publishers Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:58:51 GMT http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/agents-and-publishers-f27/smashwords-publishing-t1563.htm#27886 http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/agents-and-publishers-f27/smashwords-publishing-t1563.htm http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/agents-and-publishers-f27/agent-blog-t1506.htm Kerr Click here.]]> Agents and Publishers Sun, 06 Sep 2009 18:35:50 GMT http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/agents-and-publishers-f27/agent-blog-t1506.htm#26859 http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/agents-and-publishers-f27/agent-blog-t1506.htm http://thewritersblock.forumotion.net/agents-and-publishers-f27/wwwfindyourpublishercom-t1470.htm AmandaLyn FindYourPublisher Apparently my 'search is over' because my 'publisher is just a few clicks away' Please do not get sucked into this.
