Publishing Feud
Feuds are popular these days, a la "The Donald" and Rosie. Whether concocted for publicity or authentic, Fern Reiss and Richard Hoy are getting into it over subsidy publishing at Five Things Fern Reiss Gets Incorrect About POD Subsidy Publishing and Reiss' Five Things Your POD Subsidy Publisher Won't Tell You. I'd tend to agree with Reiss, although she may be a little too succinct in her presentation, and Hoy is apparently boosting his own POD services, which may not compare to other publishers. (I'm sure he'd agree with my last remark!)

Oh, to be a publicist to come up with such so-called fueds! Each and every time I see The Donald and Rosie square off, I see them both benefitting from all of "the noise" generated.
People like a fight even if it has no true basis to it.
It is true I am boosting our POD services. That's a reason for the blog. I have no intention of hiding that fact.
But the major reason is to provide some counterpoints to people like Fern Reiss that say all POD offerings are a rip-off. They are not. Some of us are trying to construct POD services that are both priced fairly and can further authors' efforts to get their book in the market.
