My UK publisher Jamie Byng - who I imagine must be pretty tired of the enfant terrible label - talks to British GQ.
The possibilities have never been greater, but that doesn't make it easier. E-books do involve lower costs, but only in manufacturing and distribution. Publishing is also about finding new talent, rigorous editing, championing the books you believe in, and all that doesn't just disappear with digital books.
In other words, we still must find a way to pay all the parasites who derive profit from the author's toil...
