Maybe in the US, there's more self-publishing going on, not sure about the UK. I've seen many that read/look as pro as the NY big boys. I heard so many rejection stories that I never even attempted the majors. You need to acquire a reputable agent if you go that route. The big guys only work through agents, at least in the US. Never quit and always believe in yourself. Self-publishing is becoming more accepted every day. Spyder
