It's true of any technology, art or form of expression that requires awareness to make note of the work. No distribution business escapes the need for the marketing budget. We can occasionally get rid of the lawyers. The web changed the medium for digital distribution. It didn't change the rules of location, practice and persistence. Ya still gotta "stand proud, talk loud, and gather a crowd". len -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Cagle [mailto:kurt.cagle@g...] I think you're seeing the result of that in the explosion of self-published books, though admittedly the ones that are doing the best are the ones in which the authors are also willing to put in the work to market and promote the books. Right now, self-publishing is still something of a ghetto, but I think this tends to be the case with any new technology in which the traditional gatekeepers are bypassed (think of the stigma that computer graphic artists had from their blue-line and rubber cement crowd).
