A publisher is like a brand. Without that imprint, it is difficult to know what is good. What would be something you might like. Eric Flint (a Baen author & editor) has written about this. One of the most difficult things for an author is just to be seen. To stand out from the crowd.
There is even an example of what would happen already in existance. Consider for a moment all those "garage bands" out there putting out their own MP3s w/o benefit of a record label. How many of them do you know?
