Huge subsidy publisher AuthorHouse has just gobbled up it's nearest competitor iUniverse. What effect will this have on small presses like ourselves here at 22nd Century? It's hard to tell now. However, it looks like another huge conglomerate thingy to me. Probably aimed to rid the world of us tiny, buzzing types.

Yes Virginia, There Are Second Chances
Just like a publishing Santa, Harper Collins Publishers has given James Frey a shiny new
contract instead of a lump of coal. What's a little bit of literary scandal anyway? Ha! It's millions in free press baby. Sure, memoir-fraudboy was grilled and left to bleed in public on Oprah. Never fear - that just makes us wonder if he's totally fictionalizing this next book.
Oh the morbid curiosity of it all. Novel or real life? Oooo scary. The Flava Flav of it all. While Random House pays up to $2.35 million in consumer rebates to settle the resulting class-action suit from his memoir embellishments, Frey gets a new "Bright Shiny Morning."
Notoriety . . . so much better than just plain old famous for selling books.
