The point was that the provided a vehicle for artists to see the light of day – even artists who were bad at promotion. That seems to be disappearing as the drive for profits forces publishers to want bestsellers only.

Amazon makes it easier to “publish.” But most indie books are buried so deep in amazon’s lists that I question if they are seeing the light of day at all.This is especially true depending on the genre. Unless the writer is also a good marketer, it’s not much better than leaving your manuscript in a desk drawer.

I hope there will still be a vehicle for the writer who has talent in writing, but no marketing or social media ability.
