MIKE: There’s much debate about the state of the publishing industry and the future of books in general. Are you encouraged or discouraged about the direction things are headed? While some say that self-publishing and ebooks have watered-down the quality of novels, others claim the empowering of authors will only benefit readers in the long run. What’s your take on the climate of industry for publishers and authors? 

NANCY: For authors, it’s bewildering. Do I spend the time and/or money to convert my backlist to e-books? Are my print sales going down? Different writers I know seem to have different experiences with the new technologies. My own have been mediocre – my e-book backlist is selling, but not terrifically well. I don’t know about the newer books. Meanwhile, kerfuffles keep happening – as I write this, my new book from Tachyon, AFTER THE FALL, BEFORE THE FALL, DURING THE FALL may not be available on Amazon when it comes out next month, because Amazon is fighting with Tachyon’s distributor, IPG, and has removed all IPG books from its shelves. This kind of thing keeps happening. However, as to the “quality of novels becoming watered down” – I don’t think that’s true at all. Writers write as well as they can. The rest is just marketing. Nobody writes a worse book because it will eventually be offered for the Kindle.
