Publishers are right
when they say there's a role for them in an ebook world... Although authors will continue to self - publish, the debate that matters in the future is what the basket of
services will be that authors require and what will be the right price for them... good covers, changing covers, dynamic pricing, constantly improved metadata, monitoring to catch glitch take - downs, as well as developmental
editing, line -
editing,
copy -
editing, and proofreading... The lines are drawn for that discussion and the opinions are really all over the lot.
