Reviews for Bibliodiversity: A Manifesto for Independent Publishing
Susan Hawthorne’s ideas are brilliant. Independent publishing feeds the cultural identity of our society as well as providing a source of income and satisfaction for writers, editors, and designers. This book must be read and distributed far and wide so that everyone understands the challenges but supports the joy! —Lisa Hanrahan, Convenor, Independent Publishers Committee, Australian Publishers Association
