As an independent publisher of science fiction, I have been following the comments by David Gerrold regarding Amazon's abuse of power in the publishing industry. As a fan, I am deeply concerned about the impact of Amazon's actions on the health of the science fiction genre and the writers who create it.
I believe that Amazon's actions are not only harmful to writers, but also to readers. By prioritizing its own interests over those of authors and publishers, Amazon is stifling innovation and creativity in the industry. This will ultimately lead to a loss of diversity and quality in the books available to readers.
As a publisher, I have seen firsthand the devastating impact that Amazon's abuse of power has had on the industry. Many small presses and independent authors are struggling to compete with Amazon's vast resources and market dominance. This has led to a homogenization of the genre, with fewer diverse voices and perspectives being represented.
I urge Amazon to reconsider its actions and work with the publishing industry to find a more collaborative and equitable solution. The health of the science fiction genre and the writers who create it depend on it.
Sincerely,
[Your Name] Primal Publisher
