Novel Insights: I wanted to write a whole blog post centred around that last paragraph, but got caught up in the whole Book Show Blog debate that it only made it in as a final paragraph. I hope your furrowing brow leads to us being able to read your own thoughts over at your blog… ;)

Ooh, interesting thought in the last paragraph I might have to take that away and think about it *brow furrows*.

“The thing with major publishers, including online ones, is that they do generate revenue through advertising, especially if they’re part of a larger media group, so it’s a shame they can’t find a portion of that revenue to allocate to writers.”

From personal experience, as well as a recent Mashable post about blogs => print, I’d say that Advertising barely makes up for the cost of the time used to integrate the banners into the design, let alone being enough to fund quality writing.

“It takes a lot of page views to equal one book sale. We’ll just leave it at that.”
