Those points make sense. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of if I was self-publishing, I would want to help out other self-published authors I liked and not just ones I felt obligated to. I notice a lot of camaraderie between fantasy authors who often tweet each other and give recommendations to check out an interview with so and so or whatever. I think these authors genuinely like each other and their work, so it doesn't come off to me like blatant promotion. That's more along the lines of what I'd be looking for. Not necessarily an official group, but other like-minded authors who I liked and respected, which I already know several here at Mythic Scribes.
I'm curious, are there benefits to going with a small press in any capacity, Michael?
