S12E9: Breach of Trust: "Bestselling Authors" and the Death of Professional Integrity
There is a “shortcut” that some people use to become “Amazon bestselling authors.” This practice is problematic and, in my opinion—unethical. I don’t believe those who do it are intentionally trying to mislead. I think they are caught by the “everybody is doing it” or misguided by someone who doesn’t care about the unethical consequences.
There is a lot of sarcasm in my tone of voice in this episode, and I come across as preachy. If you are someone who claims to be a bestselling author based on the process described in this episode, you may want to skip this episode altogether.
Either way, I didn’t record this episode to hurt anyone’s feelings.
