My subjective evaluation is that they were successful. I don't concern myself with other's evaluations. >I'm just trying to hold him to his own standards. <LOL> Krygowski asked about my books.

Agent's demand that your publication be professionally edited, which also costs money.. https://scribemedia.com/editing-types/ Other publishers will publish and market anything if you pay them up front. They're called "vanity publishers." I do not pay anything up front. One can publish on Amazon for free and they only take a cut of the sales. They do have some standards. > If its rejected by all such publications, it's not good. Ahhh, yes, other persons' evaluations are very important to Krygowski. That seems to be what he lives for.
