The Insecure Writer's Support Group
When I first got into this crazy business of publishing, as
opposed to writing, I was stunned by some of the ideas put forth as “truths.”
But being a newbie, I ducked my head and kept writing. It didn’t change the real
truth, one that too many writers either forget or never figured out. One very
serious problem I’ve witnessed over and over throughout my years of being a
published author is that too few of us realize our own value. This must change
- and it is changing.
There is no one more important to the publishing world than
the author.
The entire publishing industry rises and falls with those
authors willing to publish their intellectual property.
Without the author, there are no stories.
Without the author, there are no books.
Without the author, there are no readers.
Without the author, there is no publishing.
Each and every one of us is absolutely vital to our
industry. There are no exceptions.
Each and every one of us has something so unique to offer
that only the individual can provide it.
Each and every one of us is deserving of the respect of our
peers and our publishers. We are created equal and that equality has nothing to
do with sales numbers.
Each and every one of us is entitled to the protection of
copyright.
It’s 2016. Publishers need authors far more than authors
need publishers.
Let us always remember: Authors are the publishing industry.
