Publishing is undergoing significant change, and Laquintano offers a way to rethink self-published e-books as something other than a threat to traditional books. In his detailed case studies of sophisticated and active self-published e-book authors, Laquintano shows the varied jobs these authors accomplish to get their work published and read. --Spencer Schaffner, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign This is a highly polished, well-organized, topical, and informative work that provides a detailed and knowledgeable snapshot of contemporary practices of authorship. It refutes the facile sense that authorship is being wholly and radically changed in the new digital environment, while being attentive to genuine novelties there. A finely wrought and worthwhile book. --Mark McGurl, author, The Program Era: Postwar Fiction and the Rise of Creative Writing
