Amazon direct publishing and create space make it simple and free to publish any book you want whenever you want. Sounds awesome, right?

Wrong.

There’s a reason it takes a while for a book to come out. There is a process involved. Well, their used to be.There is one very big reason why I hate these programs and the idiots that think any idea that passes through their tiny little brains needs to be printed immediately. 

1 out of 1 and a half books are not edited, polished, or revised AT ALL! “Authors” are publishing rough manuscripts without taking the time to run a simple spell check, grammar check, or anything! Really?! These self published gems appear penned by complete amateurs that dropped out of grade school or never paid attention in English class  and it’s giving the rest of us a bad name.

Createspace and kindle direct publishing are quickly becoming a joke. Which is too bad because they really were a great alternative to traditional publishing.
