Martin,

Taking chances in publishing involves money and/or highly skilled businessmen. I work for one such person. He has taken the time to learn what needed to be done and put in the hard work to make it happen. As you may know, some here have self-published after 20, 30 or more years of research. This type of dogged determination is required. My employer has read hundreds of books to help add some level of plausibility to the fiction we produce. For non-fiction, finding out who has the required documents and then setting up a plan as to how to proceed is necessary. Patience is also required.

Best,
Ed
