The Unprofessional Writer

Feel the ground quaking beneath your feet? That's the seismic tremors of the publishing industry quaking. 

There was a time when Week Eight of my Basics class was simple and straight-forward.  How to write a query.  How to approach an agent.  How publishing works.

Remember the kids' game, Fruit Basket Turnover?

Well, things are crazy and some of my students are going straight to self-publishing while others are still seeking the traditional route.  It's hard to say what's going to work for any one person so I wish everybody good luck in the path they take.

Here, Kris Rusch tackles some of the quakes and those who are prognosticating on the future of publishing.  Check it out.  It's worth your time.
