Not sure there's proportionately more trash, but i do think there are fewer gems. Publishers are less into the risk of backing (financially) a piece of work that may be universally recognised as brilliant but is far more likely to be recognised by a tiny sliver of the buying public. I blame the demise of the Net Book Agreement.
Is it too flippant to say, Sparrow, that anyone who dealt with my hot water bottles and my childcare WOULD make me a better writer – by freeing up some hours and mental energy? ;0) I do know that wasn't your point.
Thanx for the link, Harry.
