I guess these days the only thing mainstream publishers have over the indies is the fact that they have much larger marketing budgets (or their own marketing teams). However that doesn't look to be everything now given the way publishing is changing. It's nice to have a publisher with a personal touch and to be listened to. That's not to say they are push overs, if they feel something won't work they say so. They are continuing to grow so that's a good sign when others have folded. I'm just pleased to see other people's hard work being picked up for publication too from places like CN. I'll keep you all posted in repect of OTOLI. Best regards Bryony (more)

Yeah, the process I've been experiencing with this indie publisher has been fairly stress-free (so far!), and I think it's mainly down to the fact that they're listening to me and giving suggestions, as opposed to demands. I'm always open to suggestions, so I've made a couple of compromises here or there, and it's mainly been because of the way they've been dealing with me. Ardie (more)

I agree with Bryony's comments about independent publishers. In fact, I read somewhere (can't remember where - might have been CN!) that even big name authors are going to indies more and more these days for the very reasons you mention. (more)
