Excited kids without a clue as to how the process really works are book-generating machines. There will not be enough trees in the forest to keep up with their paper needs. Thanks for destroying the environment, you jerks. Personally, though, I blame the parents.
This is the future of self-publishing. Parents dumping their kids’ work online and acting like they gave birth to the next William Shakespeare. Which is irritating, because flooding the market like that makes it harder for readers to actually find the next William Shakespeare, who just happens to be MY kiddo.
