Authors Beware

SL Viehl takes time out from her morning regimen of 6000 words before breakfast to link this Washington Post story about PublishAmerica, an outfit that really really really tries awful awful hard to make vanity publishing not look like vanity publishing. She asks that the word be spread, so here's my small contribution.

Of course, it may seem weird for me to be spreading the word thusly, given that I'm sticking my own novel online for free (read it here!), but then, the way I see it there's a big difference between me deciding that I don't much care if I get paid by readers for this novel and me not much caring if I end up paying for readers to read it (assuming that PublishAmerica books ever make it to the readers).
