Publishers – Get yer finger out!

An Indie friend of mine once told me that for me, writing would only ever be a hobby.  The reason for this is that I still have to do a ‘proper job’ in order to make ends meet, and that’s likely to be the way for the foreseable future.  Being independant he spends at least as much time marketing and selling his work as he does writing; a prospect I regarded with dread since I can’t sell my way out
