Bring on the ants.
Singularly we are nothing, some of us will succeed, but against the machine, most will fail and they will grind us down one by one. If we pop our heads up, they will crush us. They have the money, power and ears of the world. The publishing giants once had us over a barrel, now the worm has turned.
The soviets tried to plan their economy and found market forces too strong, we are those forces, now we are in the ascendancy, as the market crushed communism, we the self publishers will crush the giant publishers.
I’m a self publisher, my book(s) will be coming out very soon, they will be cheap, ($1.49) available all over the world and original. I can do this due to E-publishing with little cost I can shoot a small shot at the mega publishers. I alone will not win.
I am not alone, I stand with my Twitter buddies, and my facebook friends. We can stand together, we can review for each other, we can buy each other’s books, we can recommend great reads, we can create a massive machine of our own, made of millions of tiny cogs. Millions of publicists, millions of outlets and no extra cost.
I’m not setting up a club or a society, I’m asking for all self publishers to buy and read ‘their own’. There are first class novels out there for next to nothing, for less than a cup of coffee.
I’m asking you to support, the small ants, not the dinosaurs. Together we are a force with which they cannot compete, alone they will tread on us.
Rise brother and sister rise, read review, publish, self publish.
