But in public, I mostly see people advocating for the traditional publishing world who come across as mired in 20th thinking about publishing and selling books, ignorant
of the self - publishing world, making sweeping assertions which they can't support, making the mistaken assumption that the writer's best interests are
identical to the publisher's best interests, clearly unaware

numbers with their under -
contract books), and / or contemptuous
of writers and dismissive
of readers.
