Publishing is not my world.

I defend the right of almost everything to be published... because I think that you're better off in trusting the marketplace than allowing other people to make that decision.

We're also far enough from the publishing power that we have no access to the politics of publishing, although there are interpersonal politics, of course.

Everything I publish is for my readers.

Publishing is a business, and I completely understand it. But when you don't have to depend on writing for your identity or your income, you can do whatever you want.

Publishing magazines for yourself is not good business, man.

It's not like publishing is perfect. Far from it. The industry is struggling to adapt and survive, and it's incredibly frustrating trying to break in.

I'm an academic. It's publish or perish.

Don't sell your publishing.

You are your main news platform, so no publication has as much power as you do about posting about yourself.
