Quite honestly, Steve, I don't think big publishers will be the threat to small but selective and editorially driven independent houses like mine and competent and skilled self-publishers like yourself that a deluge of nonsense books will be. Ease of 'writing' and 'publishing' these days means that the market is already swamped with rubbish and it's becoming more and more difficult for a browser to sort the wheat from the chaff. But I guess, that's literary democracy for ya. Cheers. Neil
