My point, as I say, is only that I believe at this time the traditional publishing route is still the one more likely to breed success. This may well change in the future and I'll be as happy as anyone it if does.

For now though, i'll still be using my well worn copy of the writer's and artists yearbook

...although they now have a large section about self-publishing, so the good folks who produce it obviously see the merits in it.

Ahh, the Yearbook. I don't know how many years I bought that thing, and how many agents names I underscored and then crossed out due to rejection. Man, now I'm nostalgic for the days before being able to write a story in the morning and post it in the afternoon.
