Polly Courtney on Book Launches

I just got in the last edits for the book, (yes, I'm still making adjustments up to this virtual last minute,) so I need to work on those.  So I'm going to do on this blog what your teachers did when they didn't have anything prepared... show you a movie!

Actually, this woman's videos are some of the best about self-publishing.  Her work was being traditionally published, but she decided to turn her back on them when they were doing what so many publishers do, putting short term perceived gains over long-term quality.  (Yes, I said it.  Major publishers often reduce the long-term quality, not increase it.  They are often very short-sighted, much like movie studios are.)

So here's one of her videos.  I'll probably put more up on this site later when I'm maintaining it better.
