Imagine: here comes everybody

You might miss out on some gems, but that's your choice then isn't it? I've read wonderful little books with heartfeld poetry this way, thanks to self-publishing. Be careful not to tar everyone with the same brush my friend

The correlation between the two are in the books I recommend, start reading.

I understand your sentiment John, I'm not saying this or that is better and I'm definitely not saying editors aren't looking for new talent, they are. My sentiment is about the evolving nature - because of better and cheaper digital printing - of new, better?, different ways of publishing and...

:) And that from a My Space member?

Wrong again Stewart. Has nothing to do with my debut novel being self-published, like so many others nowadays, because things ARE changing. I can't help that you don't like those changes and want to keep everything as it always has been. Read the two books I recommended: "The Long Tail" and...

Mostly I write short articles (for two of our blogs: one on wooden flooring and one on business matters). Just published debut business novel (July this year), which was bringing a youth dream to reality. My first language is Dutch, but novels and articles are in English (when living and working...
