Shoot hard for real press. Only do independent press if you get shot down hard everywhere else.

Especially if you aren't doing SF.

Some of this is that the main sellers of independents are independent booksellers which are sort of rare. Also because it doesn't seem to help selling future books to the major publishers (from what I have seen).

Despite the fact that BAEN is sort of independent, it might have enough strength now to be considered differently (but it does SF).
