PIRATING THE PIRATES
by Norman Spinrad The Death Spiral of the Publishing Death Spiral revisited I had no idea that I was going to write this until some of the people commenting on THE PUBLISHING DEATH SPIRAL put two ideas in my head: First, many people suggested I put my backlist books on ebook publishing sites. I googled round and about and found that Amazon offers the best deal. All Amazon requires you to give them is non-exclusive rights to sell your ebook in their proprietary format for Kindle. So that much indeed is a no-brainer, since these are rights you can’t do anything with anywhere other than Amazon, and they tie up nothing else. Furthermore, you set your own sale price, and Amazon pays you 70% of the sale price if you allow them to adjust it as they might see fit, and 30% if you want to lock in your own price. So far, so
Thanks for writing, Mr. Spinrad. I discovered your books only recently, but I'm thrilled I've got them ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteFifty plus years ago a friend of mine and I were backpacking in the middle of the Beartooth Wilderness Area of Montana when we got caught in a blizzard. We found some boulders to crawl under for shelter. On a ledge there was a plastic sack with a copy of The Last Hurrah Of The Golden Horde inside. That night we took turns reading the book out loud to each other to keep from freezing to death. I think we read that book four times by the time the sun came up and the storm broke. I've kept that book ever since and refer to it as the book that saved my life. Over the years I've tried to buy and read every Norman Spinrad book in honor. I'm 73 now and have read that book to both my son and grandson.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think a people's police as you describe it is a good idea. It'd have to be done in some graduated way. But yeah. I see you're in the next Asimov's Norman. That's reason enough for me to pick it up! Wanted to say hello. Sorry to have lost touch.
