It's good to know there are authors and publishers who aren't panicking, but see this as an opportunity for creative marketing. Thanks, Lillie, for your input.

Is he referring only to self published books? About Amazon - it just goes to show you can't afford to put all your eggs in one basket with marketing. While the market is changing, I agree there is still a bright future. Hi Lillie
I haven’t heard Poynter’s words on that before. Is he referring only to self published books?

About Amazon – it just goes to show you can’t afford to put all your eggs in one basket with marketing.

While the market is changing, I agree there is still a bright future.

For most self-published authors, competing in bookstores is difficult. I've generally encouraged my clients to list their books with Amazon simply because people trust Amazon and may order there when they are leery of ordering on the author's Web site. But with the recent changes, I no longer make that recommendation. Self-publishing authors need to be creative in promotion and marketing, but I think there's still a bright future. Mary Emma,
