« Belated Chicago Sun-Times column | Main | Advice for the aspiring book reviewer »
If you come across a blog that offers to tell you how to write or how to get published, and that person is "published" by iUniverse or Publish America or some other vanity press, I suggest you look elsewhere for advice.
It's shocking, the bad information that's out there in the blogosphere. Browsers should be issued with warning labels: "Caution: Contents may be full of shit."

Even by published authors, we have to remind ourselves that it was THEIR way, but may not be the way in which we'll be able to do it.

Absolutely. Take EVERYTHING with a grain of salt, and a healthy dose of skepticism.
Including this advice.
