The debut of digital publishing has sparked an atmosphere in which authors, publishers, agents and booksellers are fighting amongst themselves, blurring their old-core missions and scrambling around looking for the best future bottomline after losing the old bottomline!
Case in point: Literary agent Wylie becoming a publisher through Amazon...
But, is Wylie in conflict of interest with their author clients? Could be, so authors be forewarned! If Wylie is dealing as a publisher will they be looking out for their interests or those of the author clients?
Now this is a conundrum that can be worked out, I believe, but it hasn't yet...Presents an interesting problem to be solved, no?

Nothing like being left holding the proverbial empty bag!
This COULD happen if the publishing industry doesn't put in safeguards to protect the writers..

I take that to mean he visited my blog for the first time and was glad he hooked up...And he gets a lot out of the blog's info, much like a teacher teaching.
OR for RicoLisi0802志竹 in Chinese:
我认为这意味着他第一次访问我的博客，很高兴，他迷上了...他得到了很多的博客的消息，就像老师教学。
This is a test comment...I'm checking something.
