Reposting because the user I responded to blocked me: Whatever you think about Jeff Bezos and Amazon, they allow millions of authors to publish to the world for free. I'm there because the gauntlet you have to run for a one in a million chance at "traditional" publishing is insane. If you hate Amazon so much you can find plenty to read elsewhere. Then you can support the publishing houses who pay authors pennies on a sale instead of Amazon which pays me about $3 for every paperback. #bookstodon
