Publisher's Summary

As indie publishing flourishes, many, many myths form around this new booming area of publishing. USA Today best-selling author and major indie blogger Dean Wesley Smith takes a cut at killing some of the myths before they can take root. From the myth that indie writers can't get books into bookstores (they can) to the idea that indie publishing must be easy (it is and it isn't), Dean knocks 10 myths down one after another and might just save you years of wasted time. Author of the acclaimed Killing the Top 10 Sacred Cows of Publishing, this companion WMG Writer's Guide for indie writers and publishers will become a necessity for your reference shelf.

Some Good Advice, Some Interesting History

...The caviot is that it seems like a lot of these chapters, if not all of them, are just blog ghosts that are undoubtedly still freely available on Dean Wesley Smith's website. And they're not even edited either, so a couple of times the book told me to click a link at the top of the page and I just kind of frowned.

...But I guess that's the sort of thing to expect from somebody who's published over 200 books?

Complaints aside, there is genuinely useful stuff here, and if you don't want to hunt down this info on his site, or you want to hear the audioh version, it's definitely worth it. Just keep in mind that since this book is so short, it might cost less than an audible credit, so make sure to buy it directly for sale price If that's the case.
