Draft2Digital\, AI\, and a New Era for Indie Authors DESCRIPTION:The End of Open Access? Draft2Digital\, AI\, and a New Era for Indie Authors \nWhen Draft2Digital announced activation and maintenance fees this month\, the indie community erupted. Now Orna Ross\, founder of the Alliance of Independent Authors\, sits down with D2D’s Kris Austin for a frank conversation about what these fees really mean\, whether they will actually deter content farms or simply burden legitimate authors–and whether indie authors deserve better communications and consultation processes from their publishing services. \nWith changes on other platforms also\, the open-access era of indie publishing looks to be giving way to one of fees\, floors\, and compliance layers. Change are being framed as a response to AI but each lands on authors without warning\, never mind consultation. What lies ahead for indie authors who stay with Draft2Digital? And what does the new era ask of indie authors and the platforms that serve them?
