And I have no where to display the current one, so he needs a good home.<br /><br />M.J.: See the response to Alex. <br />As for traditional publishing, it would take a pretty amazing offer to get me to sign with a publisher at this point.<br /><br />PT: I don't think small, independent publishers get any more credibility than self publishers. Big publishers look down on all of us equally.<br /><br />Ibdiamond: That's good...?<br /><br />Matthew: I was never impressed with Partha's minis, and I've painted a lot of them. The sculpts where always too muddled for my tastes, I guess.<br />And, yeah, if you want cheap minis these days, you go with plastic. Especially if you're building an army. The pewter just costs too much. Metal is just for special figures these days.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-47013746432263745502012-10-17T08:58:39.926-07:002012-10-17T08:58:39.926-07:00So awesome.

I haven't played for years, but I was at a guy's house recently, and all his miniatures were plastic. Plastic.

That's pretty much all I got from my publisher. I mean I wrote the book, Rusty did the cover, and Michael did the editing, so what exactly did the publisher do? Not a hell of a lot but yet they get to keep 60%.<br /><br />Still, if I want to query my next book, now I can say I have a legitimately published book so I might have a slight bit more credibility.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-51767312240473036962012-10-17T03:29:06.231-07:002012-10-17T03:29:06.231-07:00Awesome allegory.

They provide the job and we sign up for the deal.<br />I couldn't have done my books on my own, so I'm thankful for my small publisher. Certainly couldn't have sold as many!Alex J.
