I just read a very atrocious excerpt from someone’s hysterical…er…historical manuscript, a story destined for self-publishing. With these kinds of works moving through the self-published ranks, I dare say more and more people who number themselves fiction readers will have the same abhorrence to a self-published or “indie author” work as do professionals in publishing.
There really has to be a way to sift out the dross (‘dross’ means worthless material that should be removed). There really does.
Help. We’re drowning in sewage.
