Every time I consider trad publishing, milliseconds later I remember why I am committed to self-publishing. Or, better, indie publishing. I plan to operate Marsh Hawk Media under my old LLC - Marsh Hawk Studio. Between them, I can have a brand that will support my writing, my visual art (if I can ever get back in the studio) and publishing my mother's work. We're left with all the hard part, why should we give away any of the earnings? I would consider outside contracts for publishers/agents where translation or film rights were involved. But those are pretty obscure possibilities.
I happens that, my own WIP has taken so long, the Web did not exist at the beginning, never mind self-publishing. So, maybe that is part of the Providential timing for us. We're now in the right place at the right time, as long as we can get the WIPs done and keep up with the changes.

Spot on! It's taken this long because it was supposed to.
