Draft2Digital vs Smashwords vs Streetlib vs PublishDrive: Which ebook aggregator is best? Our #AskALLi Member Q&A is hosted by Michael La Ronn and ALLi Director Orna Ross, and this month they'll be answering this question and more.

Other questions include:

• If I commission an artist to illustrate scenes from my book as a giveaway for fans, who owns the copyright: me or the illustrator?
• Help! My publisher returned my book rights to me and I don't know what to do next.
• What if I encounter a service provider ALLi hasn't heard of before?
• What does ALLi think of B&N paperbacks sold through their site?
