I've enjoyed indie publishing. It's a very different experience to traditional publishing and also requires a lot of research. I've found the indie writing community to be very generous in sharing their expertise.

I look forward to more cross-posts taking place between the CWD and ACW blogs next year.

Over the years I've seen too many authors shed tears and suffer financially as a result of signing bad contracts. Knowledge is definitely power when it comes to understanding the publishing world and how to avoid getting ripped off.

I thought I hada good handle on the the different types of publishing, but I didn't realise until a recent ACW discussion thread that authors could get different contracts from the same publishers. So your advice to really look at those contracts is critical. Thanks for taking the time to put those resources together and thanks for being the first of our cross-posts.
