I agree with him 1000 % , Authors have
to stand up for their rights, authors work very hard,
and in the end make little money unless your Stephen
King , then again he started out very poor like all
authors...

I am waiting to see what David has to say about youwriteon.com and book pricing.

Currently my royalties are 62%. I will not quibble over my book pricing at this stage as I really need to sell a lot more and I think an increase in price will do me no favours during the current financial down turn. So I shall just be a pennyless author for a while longer. Novelist takes on Walmart -Target -Amazon in book price war. Icon_sad

Good for him. Since we're usually paid on the net, it doesn't do us much good when the net is mere pennies.
