Other people have gotten works published that way because legally the podcast does not constitute a first printing, which publishers often want to have (and which is why privately-published works often aren't picked up, no matter how good they are).<br /><br />There are two reasons for this. First, you are building up an audience, which publishers will assume are likely to purchase the book itself when published. Second, because you're building an audience, if it doesn't get a publisher's attention then you could go the route of Kickstarter to finance the self-publication (though then you have to do the legwork of getting bookstores to sell your work and so forth).<br /><br />Rob H.Acacia H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07678539067303911329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669394918563164889.post-71810540232628471022012-04-16T16:14:11.989-07:002012-04-16T16:14:11.989-07:00I was hoping that you'd write: "If I don&...I was hoping that you'd write: "If I don't get a new agent and some progress by the end of 2012, I'm going to resume <b>Thunderstruck</b>!"<br /><br />I miss the 2 girls..
