It is the very thng the is the prime paradox, do we go to a literary agent to get a larger
traditional publsiher to look when most agents... well don't have time to get out of the slush pile...
And like traditional
legal publsihers who have dismissed blogs, or at least continue to pour most of their money into publishing periodicals, journals, and reviews, Huffington was easily dismissed by mainstream media.
(I assuming that, just as here, the other Commonwealth courts send their judgments to the local LIIs at the same time as they're sent to
commercial publsihers.
Niche legal
publsihers with far more expertise in partcular areas of the law than traditional reporters, editors, and publishers offer tremendous value to other lawyers and the public at large.
They are all OEL titles, two of which were debut titles for
the publsiher; Amazing Agent Luna and Aoi House.
Not sure it's fair to say it's a desperate move by
the publsihers or odd that they feel they have some sort of claim because isn't there a very fair argument that without them their really wouldn't be the franchise / brand there is and the demand for the ebooks that there justifiably now is?
