FOR WRITERS

Today’s writer topic comes from QSFer Victoria Stagg Elliott:

Book pirates suck, but are there times to ignore piracy? I once talked to an author of gay young adult fiction who ignored pirate downloads because she knew that not all gay teens had access to a credit card.

Or are there other ways to get books to those who can’t afford them or can’t buy them?
