This probably led to a lot of bad plays being produced, but also some very great ones.
I believe, there's always talent out there, but for it to flourish it needs an outlet. Self-publishing, I believe, is now that outlet.

I like what Randy said. I believe the good books will rise to the top regardless of who publishes them. I've seen a lot of big name authors, especially in the romance genre, who have embraced indie publishing and are making some serious money. These are writers who have been published by the big traditional publishers. and are now bypassing those publishers. Lots of change going on.
