"However, I also have a fair amount of DIY publishing knowledge here,
and in my not uninformed opinion most writers are going to be happier
with someone acting as their publishers. That publishing as an industry
is changing is axiomatic * it*s always changing, because every era
brings in new, era-specific issues. But one reason one does look to
history is that the general concept of a publisher has been durable, and
in my opinion, seems likely to continue so."
