Shaping Your Own Destiny

Self-Published Hits
Aspiring writers may find solace within the covers of the latest issue of Time Magazine (Feburary 2). In an article by arts & media writer, Lev Grossman, we learn about changes in the publishing industry. It seems self-publishing, not to mention digital publishing, are causing more than few cases of hives in New York-based publishing circles.

Adieu print traditions? Not yet. Just a range of new and different ways to find and read more books...

Four self-published novels with "hit it big" credentials were mentioned in Grossman's article:

The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry
Contagious by Scott Sigler
Still Alice by Lisa Genova
Daemon by Daniel Suarez
