I don't know. I still feel the biggest problem with self-pub is not the high-and-mighty attitude of mainstream publishing, but the volume of badly-written stuff that would have been better off never being let out of the bag. If most self-pub books were half as good as a Naomi Clark novel I'd be happy to self-pub too. But most of what I've seen (and the small-press anthologies I've featured in) have not given me cause to raise my estimate of the validity of the choice.

But then, my success rate with publishers (or rather publications) I respect is 0% as yet, so perhaps I need to admit I'm only good enough for the lowest common denominator.
