I know that there are reputable independent authors. The issue for the reader is how to
find them. If I buy a book from Tor, say, then I know that:
1. Tor are an SF/Fantasy imprint, so it's reasonably likely that I'm going to like the book.
2. I've read many Tor books, and I know from my own personal experience that they have good quality standards.
whereas if I looks at, say, Smashwords, I'll probably find 1000 SF/Fantasy novels, the overwhelming majority of which are going to be poorly written. How do I find the 5 good ones among the 995 others?
