Do you want to be a writer?  Do you know someone who likes to write?  The barriers to getting published are dropping.  Dean Wesley Smith reports in Crossover Deals from Self-Publishing to Traditional:

Then Publisher’s Marketplace followed with the line:

“As everyone knows, originally self-published books made for a number of high-profile crossover deals in 2012–though in total numbers, we recorded 45 such deals in all.”

Kind of cool!
