Yes! - some of the greatest contemporary talent is shoved out of the market by big name authors and left with only self-publishing as an option - think Harvey Click and "The Bad Box" - a masterpiece! - yet Harvey says he will stop writing and publishing fiction (not selling enough books to pay for the professional cover artist, I imagine, and that's sad). Lindy Moone and Jassy Mackenzie also said they've quit - and Jassy had a brick-and-mortar New York publisher. I've read and reviewed a LOT of talented indie authors, and it's sad to see how the best writers go unrecognized while 50 Shades of Cliches and Purple Prose sell millions of copies. As ebooks opened the door to Indie Authors and revolutionzed the publishing industry, I hope SteemPress will add more roads and bridges for new authors. Thank you for doing this and I wish you every success!
