Resistance is futile!<br /><br />I know what you mean about the state of NZ publishing - and I guess that's why many of us are now either self pubbing or traditionally pubbing but going further afield. <br /><br />With the growth of indie and digital in general, it really feels like the publishing world is in a state of flux. But as you say, good things come out of it too, don't they? Indie pubbing can give an author such a sense of freedom, and it's wonderful to have control over everything for once. <br /><br />I'm mostly digitally published with romance, but my new fantasy is with a UK publisher (Angry Robot) and it's going to be interesting to see what distribution of the book is like here in NZ, and how much difference it makes being on the other side of the world compared to most of their other authors.<br /><br />It's a Brave New World out there, but it's exciting too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693126278278730466noreply@blogger.com
