Borders Goes Out of Business: Many Authors To Benefit
August 8th, 2011 // 11:59 am @ M.H. Nicholas
I know it’s a tough world for an author. Without Borders telling customers which books to consider, authors are better able to use their skills and tools to make themselves relevant. The author is better able to adapt. You can embrace ebooks, build relationships, sign books and compete however you want. Borders cost the average author with lower orders on the front end and returns on the back. Net net, I see the Borders’ failure as moving folks back toward level playing fields where I get to fight this out on a much fairer battlefield.
