Be More Like Walt Whitman

After reading our analysis of the New York Times' recent article about print-on-demand (POD) books, one of this site's most prolific readers chimed in with some self-publishing wisdom.

Richard Grayson has published stacks of quirky books and short stories for years, and he's used POD to resurrect thirty-year-old books.

Check it out:

"Having had books published conventionally and with POD, I like the fact that I can correct errors that might otherwise be embarrassingly enshrined forever.

"For example, in a book I had published in 1979, a character refers to a "silicone chip" -- a hilarious slip over the past 25 years, but one that got past my editor and copy editor in those days before anyone even had word processors...

With POD, authors can easily do what Walt Whitman did with his various versions of Leaves of Grass."

Great post, Jason, and a good idea.

Now that we have that figured out. How about you be Walt Whitman and I be Louisa May Alcott?
