I am so, so happy for you! Such and exciting time. Like you, Denise, I have know Laura since we all began blogging over ten years ago, and it THRILLS me to read about Laura's success. <br /><br />I love your wish for the future, Laura, and I couldn't agree more. Ebooks have been around long enough for them to be recognized and true literature. Why shouldn't they receive awards? That is ludicrous. So here's hoping....<br /><br />ALL the best on you new adventure and I wish you all the luck and happiness in the world! With so much unrest in the world and this horrific virus taking over the world, we NEED good news like this. Sending you both tons of virtual hugs, since that is all we can do right now.

Sure there are poorly edited indie books, but that doesn't need to be tarnished those that can stand up against the best trad books out there.

...Thanks so much, it's been lovely to be here!<br /><br />I agree- amazing authors both indie and trad published. I've seen high and low prices across both types of publishing. I feel that the whole outdated "doorkeeper" thing has started to disappear- there are amazing writers who choose indie, those who choose trad, and those who enjoy both worlds! As I mentioned to Olga above- I think it's key that all writers are able to make a decent income from their sales.<br /><br />LxxLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604785269958873474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-50421000669469873022020-07-02T20:07:34.451+10:002020-07-02T20:07:34.451+10:00Thanks Olga!

I dont think ebook prices should be too low, no matter how published- those writers need to eat and be able to afford to write more gorgeous books.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604785269958873474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-27241174712064294052020-07-02T20:00:41.103+10:002020-07-02T20:00:41.103+10:00Thank you!
