Going with a small publisher…an advantage? | Canonbridge
https://canonbridge.wordpress.com/2009/12/14/going-with-a-small-publisher-an-advantage
A word or two about writing and books. Going with a small publisher…an advantage? Last week, I wrote about the possible disadvantages of a small publisher. I hope, from my own point of view, that I may have dispelled some myths, as well as give you a couple of suggestions to guide you as you investigate the possibility of working with a small publisher.
