i agree with that in toto, daniel... as for the wording of your postings of publishers' self-promotional info, i don't see how publishers can be considered 'resources' of any kind... they exist to make money from your writings, not to simply 'help' you know how to do it, or provide knowledge of things you need to know in order to do the writing...
jazzbel....you've absolutely hit the nail on the head; SOUNDLY! self-publishing IS self-publishing! think about the "self" part. It means YOU - the writer - educate yourself with online resources, then armed with all the knowledge you've amassed..YOU - Publish to the platform of your choice. p.s. love the mark twain quote!
