Publishing Evolution #84: Writer Communities & Author Websites
I have gone to favorite author websites to find out the latest on upcomomg publications. They are usually the best source for that information and often have excerpts to whet your appetite. Most of the time, I just read the website info and like reading about the authors. Once in a while I will contact an author with a question.
The idea of a book being published based on popular vote gives some concern. I understand publishers wanting to publish popular, thus moneymaking, titles. However, I think that such voting should be taken with a grain of salt. Having a lot of people vote for something doesn't always mean it is good. It may be a good way to "test the waters", but how do you know whether the author just has a very large family to skew the vote?
