I've read some indies most have went on to be picked up by a mainstream publisher. I'm a big fan of first person narration and we have indies to thank for that changed.

my $5c: it may well be that this is changing now, due to the readier access to PoD services + fewer editors breathing over shoulders. idk. I don't read much fiction any more these days. I've read HP, but I didn't find that all that interesting, char-dev-wise. As for teen sf&f lit: yes, it's in some ways less stereotypizing. Having said that, I can't say that I'm all that impressed with the psychological depth given to most child/teen protagonists, whether male or female. Though that may have been because most of the authors I read when I was young were of the male persuasion. Anyway, off for a few weeks, so I'll leave it here. |

Not most. And of those, some either keep on doing Indie releases as "hybrid" authors, or go right back to Indie-land as quickly as possible. The math just doesn't work in tradpub's favor. Shortly before selling Harlequin off to HarperCollins, Torstar said in their last quarterly financial report that their decline in sales was due to competition from lower priced Indie titles. And Harlequin in its day used to be the low price leader in both print and digital for a variety (of unsavory) reasons.
