I would also argue you stand a better chance of becoming a successful writer self-publishing and then getting recognized by a publisher or agent than cold calling or going the traditional route.

Television and radio programmes are being made about self-epublishing (I’ve personally been asked to speak about it on 12 occasions since August). Everyone can be a writer now: it only takes 10 minutes to upload your own e-book, and according to the New York Times “81% of people feel they have a book in them … And should write it” [...] [...] All of this e-book talk is becoming a business in itself.
