What is interesting is that the publishers are some kind of old school obstacle, Amazon comes on a white horse with the promise of avoiding any obstacle, then they corner the market and become the obstacle themselves. Somehow there is no way out, there is always some kind of Lord deciding for the plebeians, they always come as the new meritocracy, and they always end up creating a caste system.
- Nasrudith 8y agoPublishing is an incredibly open field really. Anyone can publish anything with vanity presses, printing, and others. You can find any sort of fringe for bizarre and/or abhorrent publisher out there and make your own if needed. If you want to accuse say the Canadian Green Party of secretly being space lobsters from Mercury out to eat our pancreases nobody can stop you and you might find a following from people wondering what on earth you are talking about. Being big just helps with margin per book and marketing. Not trivial but they aren't the final obstacle.
