Self Publishing Misconceptions

Submitted by Kristen Tsetsi on August 12, 2012 - 09:57

Fellow author RJ Keller and I created, several years ago, a writers' comic relief YouTube series called "Inside the Writers' Studio."

We usually focus our episodes on the humorous aspects of some of the frustrations of writers (while also, at times, making fun of writers, as in our episode titled "Writer Stereotypes"), but after reading an interview with Sue Grafton in which she refers to self-publishing as "lazy," I guess you could say we set aside the "funny" and responded seriously to this misperception.

As you know, my term as President of MWSA will be up on September 29, 2012 and I will be stepping down. Although we've grown a lot during my tenure, it's time for new ideas and new leadership. As such, I'm pleased to share with you the names of four members who have agreed to take on the leadership of our organization for the next three years. I want to thank each of them and pledge my support as they build on what we've started and create new ways to achieve our goals.

Congratulations to the nominees for the 2012 Book Awards!


My next novel is about a manager of a retail home improvement store who has one week to improve sales or risk having it shut down. I missed the chance to enter my novel in 2012 for MWSA, but look forward to discussing this with all of you upon its release this fall.


Once again you have my congratulations to the nominees.

Have a Tech Question?

During the MWSA Conference, I will be sitting at the Tech Talk Table. The table will be conveniently placed between conference rooms. Whatever questions you have, I'll do my best to answer them. While we want to focus on the MWSA website, I will also be answering questions about e-books, blogging, and software for writers.
