Flutterby™! : Harlequin self-publishing

Courtesy of Whump, Smart Bitches Trashy Books informs us that Harlequin is now doing self-publishing. The pricing for the packages is here, I'm not sure how much editorial help they can give you for $200, but given that so much of that level of push-it-out genre writing is being given away for free on the internet, that a big name would put some effort into figuring how to monetize that energy seems pretty smart.

Relatedly, MJ Rose points out that SFWA is no longer accepting Harlequin for their "you've been published" requirements.
