Jesus, I guess so. You know, every time I try to bump up my status I end up embarrassed and sent back to the rear of the class. Steve Stern has been after me for years to be more assertive. He has recommended me to 2 or 3 agents and 2 or 3 presses and the answer is always the same. It really is degrading in a way. I get the publishers I deserve, I suppose.
that was interesting… good answers to trick questions. do you really think that you will always be a small-press author? (a serious question.)
