Paperbacks will be with us until the cockroaches are the only thing left. <br /><br />But I think we have to face some publishing reality. Just a year ago at a writers conference, publishers told me that ebooks were such small potatoes that they weren't really looking at them that much! I predicted then that the market would explode--soon. I think we're seeing the beginning of that. <br /><br />Can't help you on the non-paying markets. That's part of the information deluge we're under these days: there's always more than we need, and often for free.Rich Bullockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967352889417483787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543156057606598974.post-11978725931140534702010-03-17T13:44:18.024-07:002010-03-17T13:44:18.024-07:00You are a wonderful writer. You will get published...You are a wonderful writer. You will get published. And God is your literary agent, not the economy. So, don't fret. Do as you are called--keep writing and wait on him. If he wants you to stop, he'll let you know. I tried to stop many times and he kept dragging me into the ring. I've got the brusies to prove it!C. S.

Unfortunately, I am guilty of buying from Amazon, or using www.paperbackswap.com instead of buying from a brick & mortar store, but a girl's gotta watch her budget, right? On the flip side, I'm a writer who is VERY frustrated by the non-paying markets out there! I write articles for a bunch of different places & don't get paid for one (well, once in a while). Like you, I certainly don't have any answers for this conundrum. Sigh.Bethany LaShellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790803944431508495noreply@blogger.com
