This was an interesting and thought-provoking conversation between two influential authors. After reading this, there is no good reason to slog through the traditional publishing route. If I take their advice and factor in Hugh Howey's thoughts on traditional publishing vs indie publishing, I wonder why bother with publishers and the search for an agent at all. A great read that won't take all night, but does bear re-reading once or twice more. This was an interesting and thought-provoking conversation between two influential authors.
