·Hi guys, I've been attending CONduit here in Salt Lake, and I thought this would be of interest to you.
Yesterday, Tracy Hickman introduced himself on his first panel as a 30+ year professional with 56 books still in print, XX NY Times bestsellers, etc. Pretty standard. But he finished by saying "and I am doing my best to leave traditional publishing behind."
No joke, those were his exact words. Looks like another long-time professional is switching to indie publishing.
Later, he gave a presentation on story structure, and he ended it with the following advice (paraphrased): if you learn to master story structure, have enough dedication, and are willing to do what it takes to learn your craft, you will not only write a successful book, you will build a successful career in this world of new media.
