Self publish. Publishing companies are dying in my view and if the work is quality enough, it will thrive. That’s my hope anyway.

Mind elaborating on this?

Simon and schuster were purchased by Harper Collins and those who retail their product are often dying. though some bookstores do thrive, I find it to be rare. Media distributed directly to an audience from the source is the future. Like we’re seeing with video games and other media content, the bloom of indie content people discover some has a great deal of cultural value. This is only simulated in a traditional publisher’s boardroom.
