But I love my publisher, love the exposure, and the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business. Tyndale rocks!<br /><br />I've read a bit about libraries and their stance on ebooks, the lending rules, etc. I wonder how that's going to shake out down the road. It will be interesting to see.<br /><br />Pam HillmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833943568870526407.post-9641367817814301602011-08-31T05:31:16.225-05:002011-08-31T05:31:16.225-05:00Every time I read a description of your book, Pam,...Every time I read a description of your book, Pam, I vow to stifle my fear of seizing up my laptop by downloading your book and resolve to just go for it! Must remember to thoroughly back up everything first though. LOL.<br /><br />I'm thrilled for you and agree that being a Tyndale author beats being an amazon author hands down. I've worked in libraries for 20 years and I can't tell you how important a known publisher is to our purchasing dollar. Not that I haven't taken a risk a time or two with a self-published author, but the backbone of every collection I have developed has come from solid relationships with good publishers.<br /><br />And the editing point...HUGE!!!!! I can't tell you how many self-published books I haven't bought because of the lack of detail to proof-reading! Never mind the value of having a critical eye help refine the writing process in general.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833943568870526407.post-73854067841263753432011-08-30T12:36:21.417-05:002011-08-30T12:36:21.417-05:00Blogger is being difficult today.
