When you're in you're but that's the problem, getting in. And not only that but it's pop fiction, contemporary stuff. The kind of books that have select market and go by in a snap. Sure there's the greats but it seems that anyone can have the easy way out and self publish.

I'm not saying however that self publishing is bad, but criticism is good. And so are connections.

Or of course you could always become a Twilight/Hunger games kind of person and write for a market.
