Still, publication is a good thing and I've read a few publishing intern blogs who mention how they scour the small publishers for the next big thing. One stepping stone is as good as another if it moves you forward on your journey.

Frankly, both of them are just the sort of thing I adore.<br /><br />Congratulations. I don't think recognition could happen to a more deserving guy. That, and I really share your opinions about the small press. It might be silly of me, especially since I'm generally so cynical, but I really appreciate an effort with heart more than anything else. Small press is where we look for that, today.

They published their books, built up a fan base, and then they're even more compelling when they go to an agent later.
