The new co-publishing and distribution program is progressing, however, the devil is truly in the details. I wish I had definitive answers to many of your questions but I do not, for that I apologize. My enthusiasm for the program, which has been in the works for quite some time, overwhelmed my common sense and perhaps I was a bit premature in my announcement. The perfect time would have been when the program was complete in every facet, but this was not the case.

My hope is the program will go forward in some form or another, but the delay creates an opportunity. I would like to start a dialogue with every one of you interested in this program. Let’s try and create what we want. It will not fit everyone, the marketplace makes most of the decisions for us, and there are going to be obstacles, but if we start the process perhaps we can come up with solutions, or at least ideas, together.

I welcome your input, concerns, questions, and issues, let’s sort them out here. Post a comment and I’ll answer and we can discuss together. I’ll wait a few days to respond and no more than once per day, but this is your opportunity to tell me what you do and do not want, either way we‘ll be making progress. Thanks, I look forward to your comments.
