I find this piece to be guilty of conflating big business publisher profits with those of individual authors.

> Incidentally, there are 149 people in the Toronto Public Library system alone earning six-figure salaries. I’m pretty sure there aren’t that many earning that much in all of Canadian book publishing.

Why don't you just come out and admit that publishers are reaping massive profits that do not flow to individual authors. Pardon me while I don't shed a tear for these profiteers. You did a disservice by framing this on the backs of authors.

If publishers are reaping massive profits, then everyone should become a publisher. That’s how it works.
