I am not a big fan of the word “submit” when it refers to sending one’s writing to publishers with the hope of getting published. In fact, I wrote a blog post all about this antipathy.

Which is why I was happy to see this blog post by author Hugh Howey and this comment on it in Publisher’s Weekly by Smashwords founder Mark Coker.

These gentlemen cover the topic more than adequately, so I will add only that this is another reason for indie authors and those with the temerity and courage to bring forth their works to the world to take heart. Write! Publish!
