I just realized that I’d received a comment concerning my recent post on Chronicle Books and Blurb:
Hello,
The information in the Newsweek article was incorrect. Chronicle Books will not receive a referral fee for recommending Blurb.com to aspiring authors or artists.
Just as from time to time our editors refer authors or artists to other publishing houses, Blurb.com presents another option if they consider it an appropriate choice. This option will not be part of our response to every author submission. There are many self-publishing options in the marketplace, though far fewer for illustrated book authors and artists. As an independent illustrated book publisher in San Francisco, Chronicle Books felt an affinity for the locally based Blurb.com and the quality of the product it is offering the public.
Chronicle Books
I greatly appreciate the correction, as I know other aspiring writers will as well. And I thank Chronicle for taking the time to inform us.
