Independent Novel Choices

If there are two authors on the cover, beware. Currently, science fiction publishers are “farming out” work of successful authors to nobodies who then crank out substandard work based on the worlds, characters, and technology created by the successful author. You have been warned.

If there are more than twenty-five books on the inside cover, beware. Some older writer have actually written more than twenty good books (such as Isaac Asimov), but in these sad days, many science fiction publishers are demanding impossible schedules for writers, forcing them to produce an entire novel few months. You have been warned.
