That independently published authors aren’t as legitimate as authors who have been traditionally published through “real publishers” like Penguin, Random House, etc. In reality, indie authors are changing the publishing landscape in spades, creating new niches and genres for readers that traditional houses never sought to fill before, which in turn has reinvigorated the book world and fueled more ravenous readers.
