"There are too many adjectives in publishing already," writes Carla Douglas. An editor based in Kingston, Ontario, Douglas is a frequent participant in our #FutureChat Twitter discussions and an engaging observer of the creative scene in publishing. "We need to bridge the self-pub/trad-pub divide" she tells us in her manifesto, "do away with these distinctions and let writers be writers." And as she develops her point here, note that Douglas is talking not only to the industry that surrounds such talent but also to the writers, themselves: "Focus on the writing, publish however you like, but publish well." - Porter Anderson
