Yeah, I'm well aware that while self-publishing is nice, some people need editors. I'm also aware that publishing is a business and some writers, while well-suited to writing, are poorly suited to the business side. I meant that I'd like the donation button to be on the publisher side (or on something like Amazon and/or Barnes & Noble, where the funds would funnel through the distribution channel as normal).

Mr. Hines is relatively local to me, so he makes it to some of the larger cons in the area. He's genuinely a nice guy. If you find yourself with a case of wanderlust in the general vicinity of late April/early May, you could probably share my/our room at the biggest convention in the area. And the con fee itself can be recouped through volunteer hours. I have an in with the person who runs registration there (this year, it's me), so I can pretty much guarantee you'd get enough hours to get your badge back.
