Amanda Hocking is going to be okay (silly of me to doubt it). In her recent blog post:http://amandahocking.blogspot.com/2011/03/blog.html she explains why she took a traditional deal and it makes perfect sense. She’s clearly a savvy businesswoman and I say Bravo!

Dean Wesley Smith agrees.

It’s wonderful that another author is showing that you can balance going it alone with a traditional contract. Yes, I know there are those who are staunch advocates of either doing it one way or the other, but in time their numbers may dwindle. It’s all about making the right choices for you and getting rid of all the noise.
