What's got me posting about it now is that I was reading a very good post about it on an author's blog. It is quite long, though, so I'm only linking to it: http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/2009/06/should-you-self-publish.html So, has anyone considered going down the self publishing route?

It's so frustrating. I've been querying since July '07 for my novel and I've only had a few bites. The most frustrating part is the lack of feedback. "Thanks but no thanks" is not constructive. I realize that agents simply don't have the time for anything else but how can you improve if no one tells you what you're doing wrong? The best thing I've done for my writing so far is to network with other writers. Sites like www.rallystorm.com ...
