"I've chosen to dip my toe in self-publishing because of increasing dissatisfaction with payments, contracts and working practices in traditional publishing," writes author Ian Graham in today's manifesto. And that dissatisfaction plays out in quite a list of points. Graham's explication of these points includes a pattern of payments that may not arrive for 60 or more days. And: "A contract often does not appear until a project is at an advanced stage or even in some cases after all the work has been completed." Three decades he's been at it, he tells us. And now? "I'll certainly be self-publishing again." - Porter Anderson
