At present I answer about 100 letters a month, and read 300 emails.
What I like least is dealing with publishers who simply don't want collaborations regardless of their merit.
I have always admired the work of Phil Farmer and was glad for the chance to work with him. Readers today may be too young to remember his classics like The Lovers.
At the time I wrote Xone I had never been on the Internet.
As for collaboration - I have done a lot, 26 books, and found publishers increasingly resistive to them. It's not that the books are bad; editors won't even read them.
I maintain an ongoing survey of Internet Publishing and self publishing, so that it is now possible for any writer with a book to get it published at nominal cost or free, and to have it on sale at booksellers like Amazon.com.
A horse is wonderful by definition.
I hope to read a Harry Potter novel soon, to see what it's all about. I admit to being annoyed that many good light fantasy writers have had trouble getting published, in England and elsewhere, when it is obvious the readers were waiting for us all along.
We are all creatures of our ancestry! There is no right and wrong, objectively.
Is it foolish to care for non-existent folk?Then, leave me to my foolishness.
