To what extent do unsigned writers see the culture of agency as the absolute cancelling out of their dreams and hopes?
Clearly there is a need for subjective, professional comment to filter and temper the quality of literature (in all its forms) but in the UK and London especially that has become something quite distasteful.
The arrogance and pomposity of the professional communty; the clique effectively, is as off-putting and objectionable as any industry I have ever worked in.
In the face of this I would look at forums like this one to start seeking and establishing their own publishing brands, possibly linking up with other similar on-line communities.
All that's really missing is an appropriately professional medium to output the works into hard copy... and then the serious business of exposure and distribution of course.
Befoe you ask, I have no such facility, but in the next few months it is my intention to develop one.
I'd appreciate your thoughts and comments.
