This is an amazing counter-rant by Kate Paulk, an author who, with Sarah Hoyt, has indirectly pushed me along the self-publishing path. Also, you can’t go wrong by following and reading this blog.
First, Remove Head from Funamental Orifice
EDIT: Speaking of removing one’s head, I initially attributed this to Sarah Hoyt, who blogs on Wednesdays at the Mad Genius Club, not Thursdays. Apparently, that’s what I get for posting while sick. Sorry!
People who use “female” as an insult, like our good friend Kate Paulk, should be exiled to Miranda.
I hadn’t browsed that deep into the comments on the original piece. Thanks for pointing that discussion out to me.
It was in the initial post. But I stand by my statement nonetheless.
Edited my post… I probably shouldn’t have put it up while sick. If you mean the part about the Feminist Glittery Hoo Hah warehouse, I thought that was a little overwrought, and not germane to the thesis of the article. But I thought the points she made about conventional publishing’s reaction to e-books were worth posting.
Last paragraph.
The rest of it was rather gross too.
