If you have to do all of the publicity yourself and the product is out there for only six months, you're often better off doing the publishing yourself, too.
Why then do the warhorse authors continue to go back to publishers? These are people who have what it takes to "break free", if publishers were all about taking advantage of authors. Patricia Cornwell, Stephen King, Tom Clancy, et al. have enough star power to publicize their own books, and the capital to self-publish. --Rachel -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
